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.
Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
That means it’s working. You will own nothing and you will like it.
I have to laugh at this. Those tax issues might have been different had these upset property owners voted for a change. LOL pay your taxes people and don’t forget it could be worse as next years taxes are going to be higher.
LOL!
Welcome to the party. Northsider here, Increases of 50-100% were not unusual in my neighborhood. Protests went nowhere.
Divide and conquer. The city only craps on one third of the population at a time.
Here is what PPF and the likes of him have created for the honest working family’s.

No one can afford to pay the overly generous Ponzi scheme pension payments.
How to remove your property from the tax roll. – Steve Emerson
This is what is and will be destroying Illinois for many years to come.
Pension time bomb (Ponzi Scheme) is exploding now and for many more years to come.
This will be the largest generation theft in History. Stealing unborn babies’ future income for the overly generous pensions of lazy government Lackies.
No, this is what they voted for in Pilsen. Now the bill is due.
There is not a single voter in Pilsen who can list all the legislative pension benefit hikes passed by State Representatives and State Senators, and signed by Governors, over the decades.
Those state pension laws, in the Illinois Pension Code, contain the pension rules used by the four City of Chicago local pension funds (Laborers, Municipal, Fire, Police).
Just one aspect of The Illinois Pension Scam, aka The Illinois Pension Racket.
There was no way to knowledgeably vote.
Dark legislation.
Mike, Agree 1000%!!

You should tell that to Fatty Arbuckle, the new Marxist Mayor, and the public employee union bosses they answer to – I’m sure they will listen.
Meanwhile, pay up or leave – those are your choices.
Tens of thousands are voting with their feet.
‘”If there is $1 million house across the street, my taxes should not be based on that house across the street. My tenants haven’t changed. My building is the same,” Bader said.’
Comical. Everyone needs to put their ‘fair share’ into the kitty.
If you don’t like it, leave.
From what I’ve seen, everyone has appealed throughout the county and there’s been lots of denials. That’s equity!
As a former Ill-annoy resident who lived in Will and DuPage County and paid property tax rates that were higher than those in Cook County for years, I have zero sympathy. Pay up suckas, I had to. Make sure Pensions Paid First gets his fair share. It’s in the Constitution you know.
Shut up and pay your taxes. If you do not like it move.
About 80% of property-tax dollars in Chicago go to pensions. Yet Chicago’s four pension systems have only enough assets to cover about 25% of what they owe workers and retirees.
Expect many more increases in the future.
This just means taxes have been too low for too long. It’s about time that Pilsen residents start paying their fair share.
Study shows Illinois with one of the highest tax burdens in the country – Center Square
PPF – you should reconcile your statement with Illinois having one of the highest tax burdens in the country with paying a fair share. You mean to suggest that taxpayers must pay even more? It is folly to think that this won’t impact the economics of state.
He admits it will have an economic impact, but that’s too bad. That pothole on your street is there because someone’s pension must be paid. The neighborhood playground is closed because a pension must be paid. The police have slow response times because a pension must be paid. There’s 70 kids to a classroom because pensions must be paid. And so on…
Absolutely! The answer to some of their problems might have been found at the ballot box but Illinois voters are much too busy to vote.
Raise those assessments higher next year…you know they will
This just means salaries and pension benefit laws (legislative benefit hikes passed by the state legislators and signed into law by Governors) were increased even though pensions were already underfunded. With few exceptions. Massive damage was inflicted after the so called pension protection clause (protection for the pension racket) was added to the State of Illinois constitution on December 15, 1970 as one small part of the re-written state constitution, passed in a voter referendum at a statewide special election. That was 53 years ago. An overly simplistic analogy is charging the credit card for 53 years, carrying a credit… Read more »
