Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 77%
  • From the state 17%
  • From other local governments 3%
  • Interest, fines & other 2%
  • Fees & charges 1%

Revenue here is well above spending. That usually means Proviso collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted above.
