Property Tax Outrage

A whole bunch of people are writing about the largish increases in property taxes that arrived in the mail late last week. A few more are dropping comments here and there. Our neighbors were talking over the fences all weekend, too.

And in the hood....: 

• People gathered Saturday night for a "property tax bonfire" at Harmony Community Church in Lawndale as they are trying to light the way to fairness. Many homeowners in Chicago have received a hefty bill with the latest round of property tax increases, and they're wondering where exactly that money is going.

  Homeowners in Lawndale are searching for answers together about their property tax hikes.

  Community leaders partnered with the Lawndale Christian Development Corporation to host a bonfire, allowing neighbors to discuss their options.

  Lawndale resident Thomas Worthy received a bill this week that was $977 more than what he paid last year. "Tax increase is tied to a TIF that I have no idea why," Worthy said. "It's collecting money from our neighbors and streets, but we're not being notified why it's in the bill."

Well you see, when you elect democrats for nearly around a hundred years, and you actually buy the BS they feed you about free-shit, and then you reelect them based on "promises" that never come to fruition and you don't bother to any sort of actual voter oversight on their records.....

Do we really have to spell it out? 

How bad was everyone's hit?
