Lake County voters will decide about future funding for Forest Preserve lands, habitats, trails and improvements during the November 4, 2008, general election. The referendum will provide $185 million to create new trails, restore lost wildlife habitats and improve public access to new and existing preserves — all with WITHOUT a tax rate increase.
No tax rate increaseReplacing older bonds about to expire provides continued funding WITHOUT increasing taxes. |
What's the money for?More open space, wildlife habitats, new trails and improved public access to new and existing preserves. |
Why now?Without approval, there would be no funding to protect additional open space and wildlife habitat. |
