Mayors of Blue Island, Country Club Hills, Harvey, Lynwood, Markham and Palos Hills were among those to testify about why municipalities want the state to reinstate their 10% share of Local Government Distributive Fund income tax revenues that have been reduced to 6.16%.
With respect to the two people in Hamilton County currently serving on the Hamilton County Commission and on elected boards of local municipalities, we hope a bill currently moving through the Tennessee General Assembly that would prohibit anyone from serving on both county and municipal government boards eventually will become law.
