Wheaton Mayor Phil Suess, in front of 45 other municipal leaders, calls on Illinois General Assembly to increase local government funding. Monday, nearly 50 mayors, village presidents and other municipal leaders representing nearly 4.5 million suburban Chicago residents, gathered outside the quad of Elmhurst University to call on the Illinois General Assembly to raise the Local Government Distributive Fund and roll back on a myriad of unfunded mandates passed in the last decade.
Due to instability caused by the 2008 financial crisis, the state reduced LGDF income promising the reduction would be temporary, Bennett said. “My community of Hazel Crest has lost over $10M in LGDF since 2011, while at the same time, we’ve faced over 1,600 unfunded mandates since I was elected in 2013,” Hazel Crest Mayor Vernard Alsberry said Monday.
