A Meridian Community Unit School District Tax Rate Increase proposition was decidedly defeated on the April 9, 2013 election ballot in Winnebago and Ogle Counties, which are in Illinois.
If approved, this measure would have authorized the Meridian Community Unit School District to increase its maximum property tax rate for educational purposes to 3.85% instead of the current rate of 2.78%.[1]
