Will take your word for the zero, as that document is impossibly long almost and fuzzy. Scrolling through it i couldn't snag a county breakdown. Am confused though as this one seems to be inconsistent with Effington County getting zilch. For one i think money is distributed by population. And it says only Monroe County receives less than the others. Not questioning your saying Effington gets nothing just don't understand yet the seeming contradiction.

Chicago gets most of the state money, right? Think again, according to new study

VIDEO - Chicago vs Downstate dollars
The Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale released a study that
looks at how much money each county receives in comparison to how much they send to state coffers. By Joseph Bustos

A popular belief is that when it comes to state funding, Chicago gets all the public money. But a recent study found, that downstate counties, for the most part, get back more than what they send to Springfield.

For example, for every $1 St. Clair County sends to state coffers, it receives $1.13 back. Madison County receives $1.10 back.

In the rural counties, it’s even more. Clinton County gets $2.42 back, and $3.08 is returned to Randolph County for every dollar it sends, according to the study. Only Monroe County receives less, getting 49 cents back for every dollar in taxes it pays.

[I don't understand if Effington County gets nothing why it isn't mentioned there. i know it must be something i'm not aware of yet.]

Most southwestern Illinois counties receive more in state general fund money than they send to state coffers, according to the recently released analysis .. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1059&context=ppi_papers .. by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.

You not dwelling in whackland at least i got right.

There's a county list in there, but a short one and about money going to Springfield. Maybe the counties listed are upstate counties. it's all interesting, but much to learn.
