Our view: McHenry County government levy finally flat
The McHenry County Board last week approved a 2013 budget that projects it will spend $6 million less next fiscal year than it did in the fiscal year that is ending today.
As promised during the lead-up to the Nov. 6 General Election when all 24 County Board seats were up for election, the board also voted to freeze the county’s property-tax levy for the first time in more than a decade.
It’s about time. We expect the freeze will continue for years to come, or at least until home prices rebound.
