The Valley View school board is seeking nearly $149 million in tax money for 2010.

The board removed $2.3 million from the proposed tax levy.
The Will County Board passed its 2011 budget of $171 million Thursday morning, but the debate will continue and legal action could result from the lack of funding for contractual raises for union workers.

Kathleen Konicki (R-Homer Glen) voted against the proposals and Deborah Rozak (R-Wilmington) was absent.
