Chicago homeowners are about to pony up more for property taxes.
A mixed vote by the city council approved Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s $16.7 billion budget, including a $23 million property tax hike. The automatic increase is based on the national inflation rate instead of a local one that some economists say makes more sense.
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.
Stop whining, buying votes costs money. Just look at higher taxes as a campaign contribution.
I can’t think of a more deserving group of higher taxes than Chicago residents.
LOL! Chicago, what a bunch of dummies!
