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.
This article improperly characterizes the detail about assessment freeze, makign it sound more like a vanilla TIF deal:
“Moylan’s bill would freeze property values, which means the Bears would not pay more taxes as the Racecourse property value increases.”
Actually, it seeks to roll back the property assessment to the low, pre-inflation valuation of 3 years prior, before the triennial re-assessment which all properties in Cook County must undergo.
There are remedies under the law for Arlington Park property owners to appeal that assessment, other than special ‘friends’ deal’ from Springfield, which most other property taxpayers cannot access.
Moylan is pretty bad but at least he’s a typical corrupt old school machine union Democrat. Nearly all his money comes from unions. It’s not like his constituents ever donate money to his campaigns. He’s despicable as a person but at least you know what you’re getting. Crazy times we live in where the corrupt old school machine union Democrat to the insane progressives we have now in Springfield.
