APC News Service reports a Thursday debate among local legislative candidates at Governors State University centered on funding public education and reducing property taxes. GOP hopefuls Patrick Burns Mau reen O'Hara and Andy Qunell backed a plan to devote at least 51 percent of new state revenue to schools and raise the property tax exemption from 5 to 10 percent.
