CTBA analysis shows that school districts around the state would
see their funding threatened by Governor Bruce Rauner's amendatory veto of
Senate Bill 1, the Evidence Based Model for School Funding Reform.
Part of the veto would require that property wealth in Tax
Increment Financing (TIF) districts be included in a school district's total
local resources-even though school districts cannot access tax revenue from
TIFs.
As a result, including the TIF value makes it appear as if school
districts have more property wealth than is actually the case and reduce the
amount of state funding it receives.
In total, of the $313 billion in equalized assessed value (EAV)
of property wealth in Illinois, $12.4 billion is in a TIF district, as of
2015.
If this amendatory veto were approved by the legislature, it
would lead to less money going to school districts all over Illinois that
desperately need all the state support they can get.

A writer must “know and have an ever-present consciousness that this world is a world of fools and rogues… tormented with envy, consumed with vanity; selfish, false, cruel, cursed with illusions… He should free himself of all doctrines, theories, etiquettes, politics…” —Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?). “The nobility of the writer's occupation lies in resisting oppression, thus in accepting isolation” —Albert Camus (1913-1960). “What are you gonna do” —Bertha Brown (1895-1987).
