A short war: Foxx ends Yarbrough-Kaegi fight that threatened to delay Cook County tax bills – Chicago Sun-Times*

Cook County Clerk Karen Yarbrough said Wednesday her staff will start calculating the taxes owed by each of 1.77 million taxpayers after State’s Attorney Kim Foxx found there was no legal reason to delay the process. Yarbrough had previously refused to go ahead with that because of concerns that Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi’s staff had inaccurately calculated property assessments for homeowners whose assessments are frozen under a senior assessment freeze program.
