Weekly Legislative Update
This week's highlights:
Top News: In St. Charles County, the median household pre-tax income stands at $99,596. However, with an average tax rate of 26.8%, the net pay is reduced to around $72,503. This means that a typical family with two working parents can expect to spend a staggering 34% of their income on childcare for just one child
