Du Quoin Debates Fall of School Sales Tax Vote
Du Quoin officials debated rescinding the half cent city sales tax for school construction after Rex Duncan failed to secure a second for his motion. Mayor Rednour and commissioners weighed state funding, demolition work at Wheatley and Ward Schools, and timing for a potential repeal if state aid stalls. The council approved raises for city workers, moved ahead on road and litigation plans, and announced Amtrak service and a new water plant milestone.
