Yet they’re raising the property tax assessments where I live. Thanks for nothing.

Here in Illinois they have "special" rates for seniors. When I turned 65 in June 2010, I promptly went to the county and got a really nice discount on my property tax, it came to approximately 35%.

Within 3 months, I received notice that my property had been reevaluated upward. Guess how much.

Yep, that's right but how did you know?

Cute. They switched from picking your left pocket to picking your right.
