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.
Keep voting for the people who raise your taxes morons.

Hello! Residents have been complaining about high property taxes for years and that is the main reason many leave. Why should Pilsen be any different? Improve your property, whether you call it gentrification or not, the assessor is going to jump all over it. Incidentally, we moved to SC and for the last three years, our property taxes have gone down. Only $25, but still, down not up. Due to so many new homes and residents and a surplus of tax revenue. Unheard of in IL.
It’s a new era of urban renewal. You can meet with the mayor, alderperson and assessor all you want. You can file all the prop tax appeals you want. But remember one thing: All the officials you grovel before want more and more of your property tax dollars for their pay and pensions.
Welcome to Chicago and IL – you are just the latest working class victims of the Leftist Democrats and the public employee unions. Vote Democrat if you want more pain.
Ola! Mucho Dinero Si! Get rid of El Gordo
Adios
Love it or leave it. Taxes will be going higher for many years to come. Get used to it or leave.
PPF tells it like it is.
PPF is correct, the only answer is leave this cesspool. It’s a great feeling, home sold fund’s collected, business closed employees
Let go, funds from sale of corporation 45
Days out. Time to make choice of new home
In state that does not have personal income tax. Property tax estimated at 23% of Illinois
New auto every year with savings.

I wish I did my friend, the decision took quite a while. When all the family is gone
Friends also then it’s time to stop watching the destruction continue.
Pack it up and move along to better places .
