CHAMPAIGN – The Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit district unanimously approved a 7.5 percent increase in its tax levy Wednesday.

The increase would cost up to $12 more for the owner of a $150,000 house, said MTD Managing Director Bill Volk during discussions about the increase, as long as the value of the house doesn't go up.
