Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF to talk about Illinois’ highest-in-the-nation property taxes, why lawmakers don’t want to touch the tax’s cost drivers, just how much Illinoisans’ tax burden has grown over the decades, why Gov. Pritzker failed to meet his promise to reform property taxes, and more.
Looks like they have audit scheduled to come out after election.. who would have thunk!!!!
Kind of crazy, in my opinion, that Burke alone controlled a $100,000,000 a year city workers compensation program, with zero – absolutely zero oversight – that no one else anywhere in government even had the right to look at. This doesn’t exist anywhere else in state or local government. Absolutely insane. It’s inviting corruption.
Right. It’s inexcusable. We’ve long written about that. I’d like to get just the number of workers comp cases granted and pending. Rumor has long been it’s something like 1/8 of the workforce.
