If people and businesses are leaving, you need to cut spending. Not tax the remaining people more.

property taxes should not be more then 0.5 % , why are you saying 1%

@hamadilawson4471 19 күн бұрын

Reasonable speaking interest rate and inflation over the past year is significantly more than 1 percent. But I do concur that the near 100 percent increase is ridiculous.

“Look at your tax bill and call every local government that increased taxes and ask them why they did it and where the money goes.” There are dozens of municipalities, school districts, libraries and first responder pension funds on every tax bill. Who’s got time to call them all and, even if they did, would they get a straight and honest answer? Probably not.

So because there are more vacant buildings and homes, we gotta pay higher tax bills? Now even more people are going to leave. I am trying to leave. I wish i knew about these meetings that she is talking about. As someone who is in Park Forest, i have seen businesses leave, high school closed, churches leave, and more mentally ill people on the street. Something needs to be done.

Do you notice how much homelessness we have in Cook county do you think it may be correlated to the increases in taxes and the increases in property values from the artificially low interest rate that was in effect for years. It is my belief that our politicians left at artificially low in order to increase property prices to cover their perspective budget at the cost of the public as usual.
