It's now up to the Illinois Supreme Court to decide whether Elliott Aviation has to pay property taxes. Last week, the high court heard oral arguments about the constitutionality of a state law that gives the company a permanent tax exemption. Elliott is a private company and Fixed-Base Operator that leases land from the Quad City Airport.
On today's WVIK News Focus, Michelle O'Neill reports the Moline School District challenged the law, saying it would lose $150,000 a year in tax revenue.
