Chicago Teachers Union seeks to reduce property tax bill for West Loop headquarters – FOX32 (Chicago)

The Cook County Assessor recently reappraised the value of the CTU’s building, estimating its fair market value at $19 million. However, the CTU is appealing this assessment and has hired a private appraiser who argues that the building's value should be reduced by more than half, to $9.2 million.

No. They need to pay their fair share of taxes

The cherry on top – CTU hired Eddie Burke’s old firm, since renamed after his departure.

Furloughs and layoffs of the CTU are needed to pay for it all – keep cutting till it balances.

How ironic. We all know 60 to 70% of property taxes go to the school districts. Here, the actual teachers union wants to fight about how much property tax they pay…gosh, where have we all heard that?! Hypocrites.
