DANVILLE — District 118 officials are weighing obtaining bonds and raising taxes as their expenses mount up —including an operating deficit of $1.8 million dollars, which might rise closer to $3 million.
“Our deficit was like $1.8 million, and that’s before the audit,” said Todd Pence, the Interim Business Director. “Honestly, it usually goes up, so we’re probably looking at two and a half to $3 million when it’s all said and done.”
