Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle has yet to announce whether property owners will have their spring interest rates and late fees eliminated or whether the August property tax bill will be delayed. Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi said his office has stopped sending out assessments based on the pre-COVID world.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Preckwinkle is the tax queen. I do not see lower taxes in the crystal ball.
