Three Arlington Heights school districts have voted to hire a lobbyist to represent them in Springfield as state lawmakers consider tax proposals.The Chicago Bears have plans for a massive development in Arlington Heights. But some of the people living there are worried about how it will all be paid for and what will happen to their taxes.
And if the team builds a new stadium, along with hotels, retail and residential properties, it will likely be worth many billions of dollars. But area school district officials are concerned they might not see some of the tax revenue the project would create. District 214, along with elementary school District 15, are two of three school districts in the area which have voted to hire a lobbyist to represent them in Springfield as state lawmakers consider tax proposals.
"I'm all for economic development, but we need to do it in a way that does not disproportionately impact schools, homeowners and small businesses," Gillespie said.
