Park board lowers its sights

The Urbana Park District board has lowered its request of taxpayers significantly – from a 25-cent property tax increase request to 15 cents – but it's probably going to take a major effort to get it approved next April.

It still has more than two months to make a final determination but the Urbana Park District board seems inclined to try at the April 7 election for a 15-cent increase in its property tax rate.
