State Income Tax There are four major concerns: Revenues have not bottomed out; The impact of the 2010 census on Skokie s per capita distribution is unknown; The State has lagged in its payments to municipalities. At its highest, the State was four months behind owing Skokie a total of $1,906,933. The State is currently two months behind for a total of $972,599. And, worst of all
State Income Tax (Cont.) Springfield may eliminate distributions to municipalities! For the State s most recently completed fiscal year, this would net the State an additional $1.1 billion. Skokie would lose $5 million.

State Income Tax (Cont.) Municipalities were locked out of the income tax rate increase by reduction of their share from 10% to 6%/6.86%.
