The Taylorville City Council Finance Committee voted recently to not continue to fund Small Town Taylorville. Regional Radio News has reached out to multiple people to try to get an understanding of how we got to this point. In talks with Chris Skultety, Chairman of the Finance Committee, he says he doesn’t think there is anything illegal going on, but there are too many questions that need answers.  One big point that Skultety said was that his belief is that all businesses should be involved not just certain businesses. 

Steve Craggs, Chairman of Small Town Taylorville says he feels blindsided. He doesn’t know what they are doing moving forward.

Skultety says that the council encouraged STT to come back with a different structure for more oversight from the city. He says that the council can’t give funds without having oversight of what they are giving money too. 

The next City Council meeting is set for May 6th.
