Comptroller candidates seek more transparency for TIF districts

 

State Rep. David Miller, who is challenging Republican Judy Baar Topinka, said the public needs more information about tax increment financing or TIF districts to assess whether they are benefiting local communities.

Under his plan, the state comptroller would launch an online database to help the public understand how each of the 1,000 TIF districts are operating in the state.

Topinka also has proposed an online database aimed at giving Illinoisans more information about state government.
