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.
Again, more taxpayer cream for people that receive free milk.
Maybe they can fund it with all the tax revenue it generates?
Seems a bit tone deaf coming from the guy that sets the assessments which essentially form the basis of the amount of tax owed
Maybe the county should cut spending and live within their means, like the taxpayers. I resent the fact that Cook county appropriated money for illegal immigrants instead of helping US citizens. .
Right on Deb. “It’s not just a spending problem—it’s a deliberate distraction. This is nothing more than gaslighting to pacify the masses while the city edges closer to collapse, which seems to be the real endgame.”
I make more than spit and live in a decent area of Cook County, so I’m left out of any PT reform plan. These PT rates are draconian for all of us, Fritz.
I’m SHOCKED to learn that an incompetent progressive screwed up everyone’s taxes. How could this happen?
A taxpayer bailout to cover high taxes. Got it.
