State Representative Jeff Keicher has voiced his opposition to the extension of several Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts in the state. He criticized the misuse of TIF districts, arguing that they have taken advantage of taxpayers and diverted funds away from schools.

Keicher's comments highlight ongoing concerns about the impact of TIF districts on public funding, particularly in education. His call for reform suggests a need to reevaluate how these financial tools are utilized to ensure they serve their intended purpose without negatively affecting essential public services.
