Annexing SIU Campus Sparks County Opposition
The Carbondale idea to annex the remaining SIU academic campus faces county board opposition. The plan would shift sales and motor fuel tax receipts from the county to Carbondale, with about 56 000 to 57 000 dollars yearly gain projected for the city. County leaders warn funds now used for roads and courthouse improvements could suffer.
