Cook County Board of Review Commissioner George Cardenas Urges Passage of a Property Tax Relief Fund – Southland Journal

The proposal is designed to alleviate property tax burdens on working-class and low-income households by tying the property tax liability to their ability to pay. The legislation, which builds on a previous circuit breaker program for senior Illinoisans, would ensure that property taxes do not exceed a manageable percentage of household income.

Yes, and if their household income is low enough, let’s have them not pay PTs – sort of an incentive not to work. We’re glad to keep subsidizing.
