What’s Taxed and What’s Not Under the One-Cent Tax Proposal
Did you know? The one-cent tax proposed for McLean County only applies to items that are currently subject to Illinois sales tax. Here’s what won’t be taxed:
🍞 Groceries / Unprepared Food
💊 Prescription medications
🚗 Vehicles (cars, trucks, boats, RVs, mobile homes)
🚜 Farm equipment, parts, and inputs
💈 Personal/professional services (haircuts, accounting, legal services, etc.)
📊 Wholesale purchases
What will be taxed? Only items that are currently taxed under Illinois law. For example:
🍜 Prepared foods
📺 Retail purchases (clothing, electronics, etc.)
📦 Online sales
If approved, this tax will help fund critical improvements for our schools while minimizing impact on essential purchases. Learn more about how these funds would impact our school community by attending our community information meeting on March 10th @ 5:00 p.m. in the Media Center at Olympia High School, visiting our webpage www.april1cent.info or contacting us directly.

Did you know? When you shop in other counties, you may already be contributing to their local schools. Many neighboring counties, including Sangamon, Peoria, Champaign, Logan and Macon, already have the one-cent tax. Now, McLean County voters will determine if the tax is approved for local schools.
If approved, the proposed One-Cent Tax will provide funding for safety upgrades, facility improvements, and property tax stabilization.
Learn more about the sales tax by attending our community information meeting on March 10th @ 5:00 p.m., visiting our webpage www.april1cent.info or contacting us directly
