City of Champaign Township: Tax voted down
CHAMPAIGN – City of Champaign Township will continue to provide only minimal services to the extremely poor in the wake of Tuesday's defeat of a proposed tax rate increase.
The township, which covers most of Champaign, had asked for a 2-cent increase in the district's property tax rate, from the current 3.5 cents to 5.5 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. It was being defeated by roughly a two-to-one margin late Tuesday.
