Illinois law requires that a public hearing be held prior to the adoption of the Truth in Taxation law.  

A public hearing is not a dialog or question-and-answer session between the Board and the audience.  It is a time when the public can present information and express opinions.  The Board's role is to listen intently to all comments presented by the public and then consider those comments when the Board deliberates on the adoption of the levy.
