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 property tax fiasco in Illinois needs to have the plug pulled on it needs a total revamp and restart, unfortunately there is no intelligent life form in Illinois politics that can fix it
Following assessor’s policy of using comparable sales to determine tax-assessment valuations for properties, then logically Kaegi would be compelled to utilize recent downtown office building sales, even if realized sale-price was drastically-lower than prior comps used for previous reassessments. Kaegi finds himself in a difficult predicament. If assessment valuations previously dramatically increased to reflect recent sale comps, then new assessment valuations must reflect dramatically decreased new sale comps. Oops.
Won’t be difficult for Fritz. He will follow the Marxist path like the good little Party member that he is.
