About 125 Du Page County taxpayers pledged to boycott the second installment of their county property taxes to protest high taxes. They voted Monday night to withhold payments due Sept. 1 after James R. Tobin of National Taxpayers United of Illinois described county finances. The forest preserve district holds $27 million in treasury bills and CDs, enough to cover years of expenses. Voters supported tax cut referendums and six county proposals, with a binding county referendum proposed by Taxpayers United.
