Quinn's budget calls for a $300 million-dollar reduction in income tax revenues to local governments.

"It would absolutely mean drastic cuts to our general fund budget and we're already down to the bone on many of our basic services."

Belvidere Mayor Fred Brereton was concerned by income tax revenue shared by municipal county and state governments.

He said "A twenty-three-dollar-and ten-cent per capita reduction means we lose nearly 600-thousand dollars from our community. This comes at a time the city is trying to develop a balanced budget for the next fiscal year."

" Last Monday we were looking at a balanced budget. This reduction will force us to re-evaluate out priorities to find another 500-thousand to cut from an already very lean budget," Brereton said.

Winnebago County Board Chairman Scott Christiansen says taking another 30% away is going to amount to $1.6 million dollar loss for the county. Some of this money is owed but comes late anyway. The county cut 20% out of its budget last year. Christiansen said the state needs to go back to the drawing board and rethink some of these cuts, otherwise more layoffs will occur when Quinn said his top priority is jobs.

"I think they need to start with their own house. The state of Illinois need to look at their budget and do what we have in local governments. We've made the cuts from our budgets. they need to do the same. Not stealing money away from local governments to help off-set their cuts," County Board Chair Scott Christiansen said.
