GENEVA – The Kane County Board appears ready to reject an attempt supported by county officials to increase the amount the county might seek to collect in property taxes next year.

Wednesday, the Kane County Board Executive Committee – a committee that includes the chairmen of each of the County Board’s committees – rejected a measure recommended by the Finance Committee to increase the county’s property tax levy by 3 percent in 2013.

That measure had been included as part of a budget proposal for 2013 recommended by the Finance Committee last month.
