In an article in the Daily Herald (distributed in the Chicago suburbs), written by Marni Pyke, Jim Tobin of National Taxpayers United of Illinois was quoted as saying

"Libraries are outmoded - with the Internet you don't need them anymore," he said.

As an explanation for library tax referenda being defeated at the polls. In addition, for school referenda, he said that

"I think there's more and more awareness teachers and administrators are being paid enormous amounts of money and saying, 'Enough is enough.'"

The whole Daily Herald article is available at http://dailyherald.com , then use "angst" as the search term.

Mr. Tobin lists his email on his organizations site as: tobin@ntui.org

There are a few things (or many) where giving tax money to is stupid but libraries is not one of them, sure there are more important things that should be put before but still it is a good place to put money at.
