The comparison is for ALL Counties in the United States. McLean County isn’t far down the list:
- #130 for medium property tax paid on homes

- #151 for % of tax based on income

Note that most of the states listed are “Blue”. Nothing will change in Illinois as long as property taxes fund schools and the state contribution continues to drop. It will also not change until government realizes their job is to only do what citizens can’t do for themselves. In Illinois that is highly unlikely.
