Overriding Thompson Veto Sought For Property Tax Relief
Citizens groups led by the Illinois Public Action Council urged Illinois legislators to override Gov. Thompson's veto of a circuit breaker tax rebate bill. The measure would extend rebates to homeowners and renters earning 25 000 or less who pay more than 3.5 percent of income in property taxes, possibly aiding about 60 percent of Illinois households. They cited lost state revenues from exemptions and underassessment and called the tax a painful burden on lower and middle income residents. Rep Daniel M. Pierce said seven hearings will precede the January session.
