'Laughing at the hell of renovating': couple's 30 projects in 20 yearsBLOOMINGTON — The two largest school districts in McLean County are exploring a 1% sales tax to help pay for needed building projects and potentially reduce property tax burdens, officials said. The plan, which could put the question before voters as soon as the April election, surfaced as school boards for McLean County Unit 5 and Bloomington District 87 discussed preliminary tax levies for the coming fiscal year during separate meetings Wednesday night. While both districts' proposals call for lower tax rates, officials acknowledged many people will face higher property tax bills because of the rising value of their homes. District 87 Superintendent David Mouser said the County Schools Facility Occupation Tax would add a small percentage on every sale in the county to help fund school districts for facilities, mental health resources for students and safety and security. Mouser That is "a 1% tax that is then put on prepared food, tangible personal items (and) retail items. It includes online purchases, now, that it did not in the past," he said. However, the tax would not affect groceries, unprepared food, over-the-counter medication and most farm equipment. That question, if approved by the school districts housing the majority of students in McLean County, would be put to voters in the upcoming April election. For Unit 5, the resolution must come before the board during its December meeting or during a special meeting in early January to appear on the April ballot. Mouser told the school board Wednesday, a large portion of the money spent in McLean County, upwards of 40%, "is spent by folks that do not live in McLean County that can thereby offset the cost for facilities, safety, security and mental health services for our students." As property values and property taxes increase for county residents, such a tax could alleviate the pressure on county residents, Mouser said. "The other thing that you can do with the 1% sales tax, the County Facility Sales Tax, is you can abate property taxes," Mouser said. Unit 5, meanwhile, is evaluating the sales tax as a possible revenue stream to cover more than $70 million in infrastructure and maintenance projects over the next 15 years. In September, district officials gave a presentation on the current infrastructure needs of district facilities. Over the next five years, the district estimated more than $50 million in work to the schools' roofs, running tracks, fire alarm systems, geothermal systems, heating equipment, cooling towers and chillers. Another $13.6 million in projects is anticipated between 2030 and 2034, and another $7.8 million is estimated between 2035 and 2039. One of the most urgent projects is a $10 million roof replacement at Chiddix Junior High that must be completed this summer. If approved, the tax is estimated to generate between $16 million and $20 million annually for Unit 5, officials said. McLean County would allocate the sales tax revenue to the Regional Office of Education, which would distribute the funds across each school district in the county based on enrollment. The sales tax was one of several funding mechanisms the board discussed on Wednesday. Other options could be grant funding or the issuance of building or working cash bonds. Board member Amy Roser said since the district doesn't have $50 million, it should be mindful of consequences of any revenue source. Roser "If it doesn't come from (the sales tax) where we can take every dollar that we get and put it directly to a project, it's going to have to come from one of those other sources, and a majority of those other sources have interest involved," Roser said. Cooperative resolution For a referendum to be included on the April ballot, Unit 5 and enough school districts to represent a majority of the total enrollment of McLean County would have to pass a resolution, said Mark Jontry, regional superintendent for the Regional Office of Education 17. His office oversees the school districts in Livingston, Logan, DeWitt and McLean counties. "The way the statute reads, school boards that represent 50.1%, or the majority, of K-12 students residing in the county can pass a board resolution," he told The Pantagraph on Thursday. That resolution would then go to his office where they would prepare the ballot's language, Jontry said. "Once I verify that enough boards have passed it ... then I file the ballot initiative with the clerk and the Bloomington Election Commission for the consolidated April election," he said. Jontry said, because Unit 5 has more than 50.1% of total student population of McLean County, its Board of Education needs to pass the resolution for the tax question to have a chance in April. According the Illinois Department of Revenue, any funding received through this tax "is to be used exclusively for 'school facility purposes' in that county as defined in the County School Facility Occupation Tax Law." The statute was "subsequently amended almost 10 years ago with a slight expansion to include ... safety and security as well as mental health services," Jontry said, noting this includes school resource officers, school psychologists and school social workers. "The language in the ballot question actually specifically denotes those areas," he said. Based on the Department of Revenue's figures for sales within McLean County, $29-30 million would be divided amongst school districts countywide, Jontry said. "It would have a significant impact on their ability to maintain their facilities. ... I have two other counties that currently have (the tax) — Livingston and Logan — they have realized a lot of benefit to maintain their facilities without having to touch their (Operations and Maintenance funds)," Jontry said. Asking less, but receiving more For the past several years, property values in the county have increased because of multiple reasons, including companies like Rivian Automotive and Ferrero establishing long-term homes in the Twin Cities. District leaders said they hope the sales tax can help to offset the increased property values. "Your homes are worth more," said Michael Cornale, District 87's chief facilities and financial officer. "And we are asking less by (tax) rate of you all. It may not end up being less dollars, but we are asking less rate." For the 2025-26 school year, Cornale advised the board to approve a tax levy that would generate between $52 and $56 million, keeping the property tax rate for homeowners in the district below 5.1%. Michael Cornale, chief financial and facilities officer for Bloomington District 87, delivers a presentation on the 2025-2026 tax levy at the regular board meeting on Nov. 20, 2024. School districts have no influence on the equalized assessed value (EAV) of properties in their townships, Cornale said. That belongs to township officials. The Bloomington Township Tax Assessor is projecting an increase of 8.95% in EAV, but, because of potential assessment challenges from property owners, Cornale said he conservatively estimates that number closer to 7.75%. "Here's the truth: if (property owners') home value were to stay the same as it did from the year prior, they would see relief," Cornale said. "I'm not ... necessarily sure that everybody will see the same home value." According to Cornale's calculations, if the value of property were to remain stagnant, the owner of a $225,000 home would pay $52.72 less than they had the previous year. But the value is estimated to increase. But if that same property owner experienced EAV growth of 8.95%, they could pay about $290 more than they did the previous year. "The EAV is a component that you all (the school board), we all (administration) have no ability to change. There is nothing we can do in this room to change what that EAV is," Cornale said. "That comes from our township assessor. He gives me that number to start working from. So that number is set in stone, and then we work backwards." Before the start of every fiscal year, the county's school districts use a calculated assessed value tax rate from the county and township assessors to determine a requested amount of funds from taxpayers, Cornale said. "When I levy, I levy for dollars ... because we ultimately don't know what that certified EAV will be," he said. In the interest of fiscal responsibility, Cornale said he uses a conservative estimate of that rate to calculate the levy he provides to the county. "We're going to do our part as a community member to give some relief as we can. I think it's a fiscally responsible thing to do," he said. Unit 5 estimated a $163.4 million property tax levy, a roughly 9.2% increase over the 2023 tax year. As a result, a truth in taxation hearing must be held before the levy can be approved. However, the district is estimating a tax rate reduction from $5.29 per $100 of assessed value to $5.07 per $100. The owner of a $225,000 home who experienced a 10.63% increase in value in 2024 would see a $239 increase to Unit 5's portion of their property tax bill. Unit 5 Chief Financial Officer Marty Hickman said this will be the first year the district will take advantage of the increased tax rate for its education fund that was approved by referendum in 2023 . Hickman As a result, the levy for the education fund increased from $76.3 million in 2023 to about $109 million in 2024. The district also saw a significant reduction to its levy for debt service after paying off building bonds. The levy amount for debt service dropped from roughly $37 million to about $13.6 million.

Photo Credit: Artazum / Shutterstock Despite many economic experts’ worst fears early in the COVID-19 pandemic, state and local government budgets have proven resilient over the last two years. With much of the economy shut down or hobbled as a result of the pandemic, forecasters initially worried that states and localities would collect substantially lower amounts of sales and income tax and face major budget shortfalls as a result. But behind falling unemployment, rising wages, and strong consumer spending, income and sales taxes have produced stronger-than-expected revenues since the initial shock of the pandemic. One factor that has helped protect state and especially local revenues over this period is property taxes, which are taxes levied on real property like land and buildings or certain forms of personal property. Property taxes tend to be more stable over time because property values are less susceptible to economic volatility than income and sales tax. Depending on when taxes are assessed, it could take years for any significant changes in property values to become apparent in a government’s tax collections. This certainly helped keep property tax revenues steady during the pandemic—and for some communities, collections could potentially grow in coming years due to the skyrocketing values of residential real estate. Property taxes’ stability could help continue to protect state and local budgets if the U.S. is headed toward a recession in the near future. Property tax collections represent 16.6% of state and local general tax revenues, which makes it the largest form of “ own-source ” revenue generated by states and localities, ahead of individual income (12.9%) and general sales taxes (12.5%). And among all revenue sources, property tax trails only intergovernmental funds (22%), which comprises funds transferred from one government to another (most frequently federal to state or local) through grants, loans, and other agreements. However, the overall mix of state and local revenue sources looks different across the U.S. Each state and local government offers a unique collection of revenue sources that weights income, sales, property, and other taxes differently. For example, nine states have no state income tax , while five have no state sales tax. Others have caps on property tax rates or restrictions around how property valuations are conducted that limit the amount of revenue from property taxes . This means that individuals’ specific tax burdens will look different depending on what state and local tax laws are in place where they live. Property tax collections across the states show these differences in action. At the low end, only 6.9% of general tax revenue collected in Alabama comes from property tax, while at the high end, property tax is 36.5% of general tax revenue in New Hampshire. New Hampshire stands out in part because the state has neither an income nor a sales tax, so many services are funded at the local level through property taxes. Many of the other locations highly dependent on property taxes are nearby Northeastern states including New Jersey, Maine, and Connecticut. The data used in this analysis is from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2019 Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances . To determine the states that collect the most property tax revenue, researchers at Porch calculated property tax revenue as a share of total general tax revenue. In the event of a tie, the state with the greater annual property tax revenue per capita was ranked higher. Here are the states that collect the most property tax revenue.

Planes periodically descended and rose from Russia’s Hmeimim air base in the Syrian coastal province of Latakia while smoke rose from the base. It was unclear what was burning. In the streets of Hmeimim, a town dotted with orange groves, many of the shops bear signs in Russian, a nod to the significance of the Russian military presence. But whether and how long that presence will last after the fall of former Syrian leader Bashar Assad is now an open question. Russia’s scorched-earth intervention on behalf of its ally, Assad, once turned the tide of the Syrian civil war. In 2017, Assad’s government signed a deal with Russia that offered it a free lease of the Hmeimim air base and the Tartus naval base for 49 years. But opposition forces in the country’s northwest launched a shock offensive last month that again threatened Assad’s rule. This time, Moscow largely stood aside — although it has granted asylum to the former president and his family. On Monday, in his first public statement since his ouster, Assad said he had left Damascus for the Hmeimim air base on Dec. 8 after insurgents stormed the capital, but hadn't planned to flee the country. He said that after the base came under attack by drones, the Russians decided to evacuate him to Russia. Since Assad's departure, there have been no clashes between Russian troops and the former insurgents who have suddenly become the de facto security forces for all of Syria. That's despite the fact that many of the fighters are from areas of northern Syria that came under frequent Russian bombardment and have little love for Moscow. A fighter guarding the shuttered civilian airport next to the Hmeimim base said Monday, “The Russians are preparing to withdraw from Syria, God willing.” He gave only his nickname, Abu Saif, because he wasn't authorized to comment publicly. Russian forces have pulled out of some areas of Syria. Russian forces and military vehicles were seen withdrawing from southern Syria on Friday toward their primary base in the city of Latakia. On Thursday, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that Russian forces were leaving bases in Ain Issa and Tel Al-Samn in the Al-Raqqah countryside. Satellite images released by Maxar Technologies on Friday show what appear to be cargo planes at a Russian military airfield in Syria with their nose cones opened to receive heavy equipment, along with helicopters being dismantled and prepared for transport. Moscow has reached out to the new Syrian authorities to try to ensure the security of its bases and extend its forces' stay. The three-starred flag of the Syrian revolution was quickly hoisted at the Syrian Embassy in Moscow in place of the old government's two-starred flag. In an interview with The Associated Press on Monday, Obeida Arnaout, spokesman for the political department of the new transitional government, called on Russia to “reconsider its presence” in Syria, as well as its interests. But he didn't rule out the possibility that Russian forces could remain. “Their interests were linked to the criminal Assad regime. They can reconsider and take the initiatives to reach out to the new administration to show that they have no animosity toward the Syrian people, and that the era of Assad regime is finally over," Arnaout said. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a call with reporters Monday that Moscow was discussing the issue with the new authorities. “We are in contact with representatives of the forces that are currently in control of the situation in the country, and all of this will be determined in the course of dialogue,” Peskov said. Sarah El Deeb contributed to this report from Damascus, Syria.

School district defends decision to punish parents for wearing pink 'XX' wristbandsThe New York Jets have tried everything at quarterback. From veteran journeymen to first-round rookie passers and a half-baked Aaron Rodgers cameo, nothing has worked. So as the Jets descend upon the top of the 2025 NFL Draft, the chance to take a new quarterback will be tempting. However, New York might not be in love with a quarterback in this year’s underwhelming class. Could the Jets get back to their roots come April? © Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK New York loves drafting defensive linemen in the first round. It defined its draft strategy in the 2010s and continued into former general manager Joe Douglas’ tenure, when edge rushers Jermaine Johnson and Will McDonald were added to the room. In ESPN’s recent mock draft , the Jets go back to the well of pass rushers and take Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter. “That's where Carter factors in, as he pivoted from split duty between linebacker and edge his first two seasons to a full-time pass rusher in 2024,” Matt Miller wrote. “He has compiled eight sacks while getting pressure on 16.4% of his snaps (fifth in the nation). That production would be welcome for a Jets pass rush that hasn't adequately replaced Bryce Huff and faces questions about Jermaine Johnson, who tore his Achilles in Week 2.” Johnson’s injury opens the door for the Jets to add another pass rusher. Even if he returns at full strength, there are worse areas to have a surplus, and rotating between three edge rushers could keep everyone optimized. Related: Man-Genius Part II? Former Jets Coach Teased As Potential Return Candidate Furthermore, there’s a real shot Carter is the best player on the board with the seventh pick. Comparing Carter (or any prospect) to an All Pro is ambitious, but it’s hard not to see the runway to a Micah Parsons-level impact. If he makes it most of the way there, that’s still an excellent player to add to the defense. New York’s defense is good, but its pass rush has relied on strong coverage, despite strong sack numbers. For all of defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and corner Sauce Gardner’s prowess, neither are creating sacks and turnovers at elite rates. Carter’s ability to hunt for sacks with elite athleticism and promising technique could help return the Jets to the pantheon of elite defenses. Adding a dynamic playmaker to the defense could have residual effects for an offense that is positioned to be in desperate need of assistance. If the right offensive prospect isn’t on the board when the Jets are on the clock, adding a player of Carter’s prestige would be a viable use of a first-round pick.

Walmart Black Friday deals are finally live - these are the 11 gaming sales I'd grab firstPublished 1:01 pm Monday, December 16, 2024 By Jim Gazzolo Matt Viator has capped off his coaching staff with a pair of familiar faces. Monday, Viator, who returns as head football coach at McNeese State after a nine-year absence, announced the final two staff members. After keeping a good percentage of the previous group, Viator selected a couple of his former Cowboy players to complete his hiring. Viator picked former McNeese quarterback Tyler Bolfing from Kansas as his offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach and Terence Cahee, the head coach at Wossman High School, to work with linebackers. Bolfing spent last season as the Jayhawks offensive analyst, while Cahlee was the top guy at Wossman over the previous three seasons. Both are graduates of McNeese and also began their coaching careers under Viator. Cahlee will also serve as the assistant special teams coach. “I wanted to go coach in college, but then I got here, and it was like, ‘Man, I’m OK,” Cahee told the Quachita Citizen. “I ended up going back and forth with (Viator), and we’ve been to war and we’ve been to war together. He understands who I am and what I bring to the table.” Before Wossman, Cahee was the defensive coordinator at Lake Charles College Prep for four seasons. Cahee played safety for Viator from 2009-12, spending the last season as Bolfing’s teammate. As a player for the Cowboys, he was a two-time All-Southland Conference defensive back, earned All-American honors in 2012, and was named the McNeese MVP in 2012. He was the quality control coach for defense at McNeese in 2015. Bolfing played for Viator at McNeese from 2012-14 and began his coaching career as a student assistant the following season. In 2015, he was part of the staff that led McNeese to a 10-0 regular season and its last Southland Conference championship. Bolfing worked as a graduate assistant under Viator at Louisiana-Monroe from 2016-17, working mainly with quarterbacks and receivers. He then returned to McNeese in 2018, coaching the tight ends. He returned to Monroe for two seasons, first coaching tight ends and special teams in 2019 and then quarterbacks the following year. He spent three years at Baylor as a quality control coach on offense before going to Kansas last January. Bolfing holds degrees from McNeese State (2015) and ULM (2017). He is married to the former Lakeyn Fontenot, a three-year letter winner in softball at McNeese from 2013-15.
