Governor Pat Quinn’s budget proposal could pose a million-dollar threat to Springfield’s city budget.
Quinn has recommended capping the shared income tax receipts that the state sends back to local governments.
Springfield budget director Bill McCarty says that could cost the city anywhere from $600,000 to $1.3 million this year alone.
Alderman Sam Cahnman wants the city council to pass an ordinance urging Quinn and the General Assembly to drop the idea.
