My God, that’s criminal. That’s more than my mortgage payment per month.
What's criminal is the stupidity of people who keep electing people who fleece them over and over again. The good news is that people can vote with their feet.
If I were them I would not wait. Pretty soon they will not be able to sell their home except at a huge loss. I see the average home in that area in a few years like most of Detroit.
“Illinois is not broken, it’s fixed” - Dan Proft
When Illinois passed it’s temporary budget a month ago, they allowed Chicago (only) to have their property tax cap lifted, to better allow Chicago to “catch up” on their pension liability.
It was the only way to pass the stupid budget. It only covers a half year, too.
