Neither a gas tax increase nor a property tax hike could muster enough support to be included in the final version of Kane County budget. The board voted to balance its budget with $16 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds and delay solving the deficit that will still exist once all the federal money is gone until after next year s election.
Kane County residents may yet see a property tax increase as part of the 2022 budget for the county. A late effort to hike taxes arose Wednesday as several board members continued to sound an alarm over what they see as an unsustainable plan to balance a $10 million deficit by emptying the county s savings account and using federal COVID-19 relief money.
Kane County residents may be forced to help pay for criminal justice reform with new taxes at the gas pump and on the sale of some retail items under proposals made by the county s law enforcement officials Wednesday.

Questions raised by local Republicans about the integrity of the 2020 election in Kane County are based on a lack of understanding about election laws, the election process and the use of incorrect data, as shown in a bipartisan, comprehensive response Thursday.
A small group of Republicans, based mainly in the Campton Hills area, have spent the past couple months pushing county officials to have an independent, third-party, forensic audit of the 2020 election. The request is based on the group s interpretations of election data posted on the Kane County clerk s website and anecdotal experiences posted on conservative social media.
