2025 Moultrie County final multiplier announced

News Progress Posted on February 11, 2026 by webmasterFebruary 11, 2026

•February 11, 2026• Moultrie County has been issued a final property assessment equalization factor of 1.0000, according to David Harris, director of the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR). The property assessment equalization factor, often called the “multiplier,” is the method used to achieve uniform property assessments among counties, as required by law. This equalization is particularly important because some of the state’s 6,600 local taxing districts overlap into two or more counties (e.g., school districts, junior college districts, fire protection districts). If there were no equalization among counties, substantial inequities among taxpayers with comparable properties would result. … Read More

Parties on the Prairie•February 11, 2026• by Janet Roney Before television, my exposure to Native Americans was at the Saturday matinee movies at Sullivan’s Grand Theater where for just twelve cents I could see the latest “Cowboys and Indians” movie where the Indians were always fierce and dangerous. But I also listened to the adventures of the Lone Ranger and his faithful and peaceful Indian friend Tonto every weekday after school. Since history is usually written by the folks who win, it is logical that a one-sided view of the frontier period in US history appears in many history books. It … Read More
