Boone board opposes moving U of I Extension office - Rockford, IL - Rockford Register Star

If  U of I moves the office will county taxpayers still have to pay the special  real estate tax?

there are 400 4-H members in 20 community clubs and 40 active master gardeners whose collective volunteer time in 2009 reached 2,332 hours at a value of more than $47,000.

Walberg reminded…. that Boone County taxpayers approved a property tax referendum in 1991 to fund the Boone office.

“What is to be determined is to be determined after public meetings are finished. It’s pretty evident that a prime option is reorganization and moving from single-county units to multicounty units. With that, we don’t know if there will be a loss of local presence and service that could go with that.” [said Mailand]
