With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

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.
Correct me if I’m wrong, been gone for five years. Aren’t tax bills two installments, one in spring one in fall? So this tax bill will be one huge bill for the whole year? With some big increases? And due within one month?One big hit instead of two bills spaced a couple of months apart? Some people are going to be hit really hard with the holidays approaching. And another installment in spring?
I hope it is not an annual bill. I remember paying the first half in late Spring. I think the problem was the need to change the county printers from portrait to landscape to account for all the extra columns needed before the decimal point.
Just in time for Christmas. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Hopefully the incompetents put in the correct data this time. Look at your tax bill carefully. Last year Cook County removed our homeowners and senior exemptions. Then you have to yourself and correct their error. And their error will cause problems for you at the bank with your escrow account. When will Cook County hire competent people, instead of friends, relatives, and political hires?
I thought I heard a large thud in my mailbox the other day.
Taxistan, higher and higher taxes for everybody to keep the Dems masters the Illinois public sector unions happy!!
