In last year’s State of the County address, McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks said 2019 would bring continued reduction of the county’s property tax burden, streamlining of government and every effort to improve the lives of the people the board represents. Since then, the County Board voted to approve a $15 million rebate of surplus funds from the Valley Hi Nursing Home, a budget making property tax levy reductions from the past two fiscal years permanent and the inclusion of two referendums to appear on ballots for upcoming elections asking voters about the future of government offices. Franks will go over some of these accomplishments and what the future holds for McHenry County in 2020 during the annual State of the County address on Tuesday.
