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.
This reform won’t cause anybody to lose their home. In fact it will benefit homeowners since more of the tax is being paid by owners of woodland. While I’m unfamiliar with Montgomery County, I know that in Cook County some “farmland” is taxed at very low rates, discouraging its development for needed homes.
I had no idea there was a state law that required woodland tracts to be taxed like homes. That’s completely insane. No wonder my neighbors own wooded land in Wisconsin and Indiana for recreation. That’s completely insane.
