Judicial/Public Safety Committee Chairwoman Julie Renehan welcomed members of @DMMC_COG to @ProtectDuPage for an open house for villages and municipalities across DuPage County to see the resources that are available to them during an emergency.
Illinois residents pay among the highest property taxes in the nation, and LGDF allows municipalities to rely less on those taxes. Contact your State Legislators today and let them know that you support restoring LGDF: https://t.co/pJj5DwMPqW
We completely agree with the Daily Herald:
"But the reality is that state lawmakers don't have a lot of tools for reducing local property taxes.
But they do have the LGDF."

LGDF is a critical source of funding for our community. The State should not only stop reductions to LGDF, but increase payments to previously promised levels, which could prevent increases in property & other taxes. Help us #RestoreLGDF today https://t.co/uGTxGQRAFF #HanoverPark
Decreases in LGDF since 2011 have resulted in delayed capital projects, increased fees and taxes, and changes to essential services.
