No library levy in Du Quoin's 2003 budget
Du Quoin council adopts the 2003 budget keeping the library levy flat at $50,421 while transferring $2,000 from the general fund to the library for materials. The move avoids a tax rate increase though library board plans to use funds for books and staff raises amid an about $113,700 surplus tied mostly to restitution funds.
