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.
Not for long. When downtown reassessments finally occur, Assessor has legal obligation to lower real estate assessments for downtown commercial buildings with low occupancy rates, and tax appeals by downtown commercial property-owners will be successful too.
and for Toni, Brandon, and the rest of the $six-figure-socialist$ equity hustle crew the second highest commercial prop taxes in country could never ever never in anyway be a cause of the systemic community disinvestment, food deserts, etc… just blame it all on some redlining from 60 years ago
And not a peep from Preckwinkle, JB, the Mayor, anyone on the the City Council, or a single City legislator about how to address the property tax crisis. Just incredible that the Chicago business community is not up in arms about this and does not have one single public official on their side raising hell about it.
Well Sparty, Ken Griffin gave them half a peace sign….
No peep because no solution.
