Illinois mayors and municipal groups throughout Illinois have launched a statewide movement aimed at activating Illinois residents to voice their opposition to proposed state cuts in local revenue. The new website and social media platform – ProtectMyTown.us – enables Illinoisans to directly engage their state legislators as well as Governor Bruce Rauner. The website urges the state to resist attempts to use local revenue – the Local Government Distributive Fund (LGDF) – to fill state budget gaps, which shifts the tax burden on to local communities and taxpayers.
