Taxpayers United of America (TUA) is working with local taxpayers to defeat a property-tax-increase referendum placed on the April 6, 2021 ballot by Lemont-Bromberek School Dist. 111A.
“This property-tax-increase referendum, if passed, would increase property taxes $96.57 for DuPage County and $84.56 for Cook County per $100,000 of home value,” said Jim Tobin, economist and TUA president. “The Illinois unemployment rate is 7.6% and climbing, and, yet, the district wants to raise taxes during a pandemic.”
“Current enrollment does not warrant reopening Central School.”
“25% of state spending is used to pay pensions of retired government employees. Taxpayers need to know this. That’s where a lot of taxpayer dollars are going. Saying that tax dollars go to ‘the children’ is a myth and a scam.”
“We have released our study of School Dist. 113A top pensions. Here are the top two pensions:”
“Thomas Cusack retired at age 62, and received an annual pension in 2020 of $172,023. His pension payments to date total $2,011,837.”
“Thomas Reiter retired at the young age of 55, and has done very well for himself. Reiter received an annual pension in 2020 of $141,674. His pension payments to date total a whopping $2,154,837.”
“It’s time school districts come clean with their constituents. While taxpayers are struggling to pay their bills during this pandemic, government school teachers are raking in huge salaries and lavish, gold-plated pensions, at taxpayer expense.”
