We are originally from IL and have friends and family still there. The property taxes are already extremely high in many districts and the tax basis is shrinking..property values down and populations down. All and all IL is headed toward disaster. Chicago is a big part of the problem..and Rahm knows it.
I live near Chicago, and I think that Illinois has high property tax rates because it’s the city that has the most governments. IL has 8,655 governments, including the state, county, township, city, school board, library board, and park district board governments.
