The Illinois Senate on Friday approved a bill that changes who pays property taxes to support the Central Illinois Regional Airport, sending it to the governor's desk for a signature. The bill's final passage caps a yearslong effort by CIRA leaders to expand the airport's taxing boundaries. Currently, only those who live within Bloomington-Normal city limits pay property taxes to the airport. After this change, everyone in McLean County will pay them. It's expected to raise the overall tax bill for rural McLean County residents but lower them for those living in Bloomington-Normal.
