Why You're Paying More In Taxes

Tax rate increase on your 2010 property tax bill:
Lisle Park District Pension Fund +20.3%
Village of Lisle +11.6% 
College of DuPage +10.6%
Lisle Park District + 8.9%
Lisle Woodridge Fire District +9.2% 
Lisle Township +9.1%
Lisle Township Road +9.4%

Naperville School Dist 203 +7.1%
DuPage County +7.0%
DuPage Forest Preserve +6.7%
Lisle Library District +6.6%


Did you get a 20% raise this year?  How about an 11.6% raise?  If not, maybe you should think about looking for a second job to pay for the tax and spend tactics of the Lisle Village Board and Park District Board.  Based on the results of the last election, they have a mandate from voters to accelerate the spending spree and we can look forward to similar increases next year, the year after that, the year after that, etc etc
