Marotta v. Metropolitan Water Reclamation District

Appellant, Charles Marotta, paid his 1983 real estate taxes under protest and filed objections to the levies of several units of local government. This appeal involves certain objections Marotta made to the 1983 levies of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (District). Following a hearing, on stipulated facts, the circuit court dismissed Marotta’s objections. The appellate court affirmed in part and reversed in part, with one justice dissenting. (241 Ill. App. 3d 753.) Marotta filed a petition for leave to appeal to this court, which we granted (134 Ill. 2d R. 315).
