We can see right now that a referendum is coming on a "Eureka Park District" being created and funded from new property taxes on owners in what is roughly the CUSD #140 area.
We need another taxing authority in Woodford County like we need another piece of SPAM e-mail.
There are already too many taxing districts (authorities) in Woodford County - 140 at last count. That's one unique taxing body for every 265 residents!
We can see why the City of Eureka and District #140 would be on board for this train wreck, the former eager to shift costs out of budget and the latter figuring it will be good for the athletic program, and better to keep those costs elsewhere on the tax bills. What is also clear is that the main thrust is a land-grab by the Eureka Youth Recreation Association and the local Junior Football League.
We (and we hope you) will keep a close eye on this one.
