CHAMPAIGN – City of Champaign Township Supervisor Linda Abernathy is expected to recommend tonight that a tax referendum should be placed on the Nov. 4 ballot to increase the amount of money the township is able to provide to the extremely poor.
Abernathy, in an e-mail to supporters, said she will recommend that the town board place on the ballot a question asking voters to increase the township's tax rate by 2 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The district's current overall tax rate is 3.5 cents.
