Chicago Tribune, Friday, June 2, 1989 Section 2 7 Citysuburbs Taxes Proposed cid for Du Peso schools How county schools fare under Madigan's tax plan Elementary schools Continued from page 1 happy, because there may be a train starting to move and it's going in the direction where Pate may not be able to stop a tax increase. Other Senate Republicans also' downplayed the endorsem*nt, saying most GOP members believe it was a response to pressure from Madigan. "We know these various groups have been blackmailed into endorsing the program by being informed what would happen to bills they were interested in if they didnt support the program," said Sen. Roger Keats Glencoe). Madigan aides also lobbied the business groups with the possibility that without their support for the two-year surcharge, the legislature might approve a larger, permanent income tax increase.
Gottschalk denied any legislative threats had been issued by Madigan. "We're not acting on the basis of any attempted intimidation or threats. None have been made to us," he said. No timetable has been set for Senate consideration of the proposal. Several senators have questioned the temporary nature of the plan and the effect on schools and municipalities after it expired on July 1, 1991.
Those concerns, apparently, are being shared by Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. Although the city stands to gain $94 million in new revenue from the Madigan plan, Daley said Thursday that it is "a valid argument" that the temporary tax increase should be made a in Landscaped model homes open 11-6 admission ffSi.

"Our concern for Du Page County is the money won't oka BnlA Schools Continued from page 1 said Ronald Fraser, the district's assistant superintendent for finance and operations. When assessed valuation goes up and average daily attendance goes down, general state aid plunges.
In the Glenbard schools, assessed valuation in 1987, the year used to calculate state aid for 1989-90, was $1.41 billion, compared with $1.22 billion in 1986. Average daily attendance, weighted by counting high school students as 1.25 students instead of 1 student each according to the state aid formula, is 8,441 now, compared with 8,663 a year ago. General state aid is not that vital a component of budgets in most Du Page school districts. Because per student assessed valuations of many districts are so high, local property taxes bring in most of the revenue. In Du Page schools, on the average, only IS percent of budgets are from state funds, compared with 33.2 percent for all Illinois school districts.
For that reason, any state income tax increase plan pegged to aid Illinois schools often receives a cool, neutral or ambivalent reaction from Du Page school offi-cidls l' The Elmhurst School District board has voted to oppose the Madigan plan because dollars flowing out of the pocketbooks of Elmhurst residents would not come back to the schools in the same amount. For its $30 million budget, Elmhurst schools would receive Jerry Bradshaw, Chairman Gary-Wheaton Corporation () I tion throughout Illinois desperately needs an infusion of state money." Like other school officials, Ramsey said that if the temporary boost gives schools more money for only two years and then is dropped, schools would face a big financial problem in 1991. "A permanent tax increase is very crucial," said Supt. James Erickson of Roselle's Keeneyville Elementary School District 20. He is ambivalent about the Madigan plan.
It would boost state aid in his district, which is strug- fling to meet payrolls, by 369,100. "In that sense, we're pleased," he said. But Erickson also has misgivings because of the temporary nature of the surcharge and because more money will be flowing out of Du Page County than will come back into its schools. Supt. James White of Glendale Heights' Queen Bee Elementary School District 16, also doesn like the two-year limit on the raise.
Queen Bee, the only Du Page school district that gets more than half of its budget from state funding, would receive only $5,200 more in state aid because of an 18 gercent gain in assessed valuation, ut without the Madigan plan, it would lose $175,000 in state support. Queen Bee is in financial trouble, with White proposing a 1989-90 budget with a $700,000 deficit. The Glendale Heights schools can ill afford to lose any state aid, he said. $58,200 more in general state aid in the Madigan plan.
