Pension funds are responsible for a major portion of the levies, as the

Department has added several new employees.

are causing the Village levies to exceed 5%. Mr. Brimm stated that the
Village maintains a very aggressive abatement program, and these figures
do not mean that tax bills will go up more than 8%.

mind that other taxing bodies are also requesting increases; he suggested

tax levy meeting so that residents can find out how much their total
tax bill will increase. President Mathias explained that many taxing
bodies overlap in the State of Illinois, and it would be virtually
