      <![CDATA[county board it is so sad that the former president is a cripple old retarded man. It is sadder that out of sympathy and a willingness to keep a pedophilliac in the seat that they gave the seat to his son Todd Stroger. Oh I forgot that they had to have someone of the darker than brown persuasion to satisfy the slave type nigger requirements.

      <![CDATA[The relevant 'take' would be that my property taxes have increased by 30% to 50% every 3 years, for the past 10+ years, thus being more than double today than they were 10 years ago.
    
    Tell me that this is NOT the result of: 
    
    the gross abuse of TIF money, which, as we should all know by now, is our tax money (and would be spent on the things it is intended to be spent on, thus, avoiding the 'need' of any type of tax increases, IF it weren't skimmed off and used as a slush fund by the mayor and his cronies)
    
    the obscene waste and mismanagement which is rampant in city and county governments
    
    the criminal theft by fraud through the many corrupt deals and arrangements pervading our city and county governments
    
    the insane tolerance exhibited by the electorate for all of the above
    
    Say it ain't so, Joe!

      <![CDATA[That may be the weirdest math take ever on a real estate tax bill -calculating the percentage increase from the first instalment to the second.
    
    The relevant take would be the increase from the previous year's bill - less than 10%.

    like a mischievous child, orion must embarrass the two-faced adults surrounding him, just to feel like he's not impotent.
    
    and, like that mischievous child, he usually finds the tender spots and pokes them with abandon.

      <![CDATA[I'm no fan of our Governor, but he did just amenatorily veto SB1400, which extends a TIF in northwest Illinois, to require TIF disclosure info on property tax bills. You can read the veto message at www.ilga.gov. and then searching for the bill. For some reason, the full text of the veto is not posted yet.
    
    Here's a summary:
    
    Governor Amendatory Veto Message
    Recommends that the Property Tax Code be amended to require that tax bills set forth certain disclosures concerning tax increment finance districts that the county or taxing authority deems to be appropriate. Recommends the limitation of home rule powers concerning the disclosures.

In reality he is a troll who is lucky to have the same entry-level city job one of Beavers' precinct captains scored for him 15 yrs. ago.  If he wasn't such a successful coffee-fetcher for his precinct captain he'd be on the street.

    So those of you that think you pay my salary, I pay a good part of my own via property taxes on six parcels of rental property.
    
    But the difference IS made up by you hardworking chumps that pay the rest.

      <![CDATA["And most of us don't have the luxury of making six figures."
    
    Which figures are you referring to?
    
    Those Daley reports on his 1040?
    
    What about those figures he doesn't report?
    
    Or pay income taxes on?
    
    Or even acknowledges he and his family receive?
    
    Or the benefits he receives that aren't direct income?
    
    Or the immense wealth in power and influence that dwarfs the paltry $13 grand he's gonna not even notice paying?
    
    Daley's tax 'burdens' are pocket change to him.
    
    Not so for the rest of us.
