The proposal is designed to alleviate property tax burdens on working-class and low-income households by tying the property tax liability to their ability to pay. The legislation, which builds on a previous circuit breaker program for senior Illinoisans, would ensure that property taxes do not exceed a manageable percentage of household income.
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.
Yes, and if their household income is low enough, let’s have them not pay PTs – sort of an incentive not to work. We’re glad to keep subsidizing.
The government creates a problem and then rides in to fix it. What a bunch of clowns.
