As property tax refunds go unclaimed, Cook County treasurer and Englewood organizers want the funds to help preserve Black homeownership – Chicago Tribune*

Already, Pappas said they’ve helped 22,000 property owners get off the 2018 tax sale list and issued $43.5 million in refunds to majority-Black suburbs and Chicago wards since March 13. This year’s Cook County tax sale was indefinitely postponed due to the pandemic, giving Pappas extra time to get the word out.

Let’s see, the County Treasurer is seeking to distribute taxpayer money on the basis of Race! Not a lawyer but on the face of it this seems patently discriminatory and racist.
