About this Article

Politics has been heavy in the air of late but one issue that will directly affect voters in Libertyville hasn't received much attention outside of village hall: A March 20 primary ballot question that could cost the owner of a $300,000 home an extra $136 per year in property taxes. The question posed on the ballot is straightforward, but there is a lot left unsaid in that question that village officials say is essential for voters to know.
