The ordinance will amend Cook County’s Property Tax Incentive Program to include real estate used for the expansion or renovation of an existing grocery store or the use of a vacant commercial space for a grocery store located in a food desert, as identified by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
Property taxes have to be awfully low or even negative to make up for the looting and shoplifting that will plague these stores.

The only way for a grocery store to survive in a “food desert” is no property taxes? Might as well let them keep the sales tax they collect too.
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.

Unfortunately their clientele will continue to steal more than the stores can make.
