Central Illinois Voters Reject School Tax, Approve Park Bond
What happened
Voters in Central Illinois weighed in on several local ballot questions on November 3rd. Tazewell County voters rejected a proposed one-percent sales tax intended to support school facilities. Separately, Morton voters approved a $4.8 million bond proposal for the Morton Park District, which will fund improvements to park facilities.

Why it matters
The rejection of the Tazewell County School Sales Tax proposal means the county did not secure dedicated tax revenue for school facilities. Conversely, the approval of the Morton Park District bond secures funding for recreational amenities and park improvements.
