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.
The thing to remember is the tax rate is based on the total spending for all the overlapping jurisdictions on your bill. That’s why there is no 1 to 1 correlation between as assessed value increase and your property tax bill. So who exactly is spending more, and what is that money being used for?
LOL, he’s just wants to consolidate more power in Springfield. It’s not like they’re going to lower my tax bill. Springfield will instead take over the revenue streams and then institute a backdoor ‘income’ tax by increasing real estate taxes year.
Taxes are too high because government spends too much money. And now with Amendment 1, its nearly impossible to fix.
