When will property tax spriral end?

Posted July 13, 2017 1:00 am

Just got the biannual heart attack notice in the mail. And yes, the property taxes went up again - a lot. When will it end? And as if that was not enough, Toni Preckwinkle wants to tax our soft drinks. When will it end?

I now have to borrow from my self-funded pension plan to pay for other people's pensions so they can have a nice retirement. (which probably happens at a decent age to enjoy it.) When will it all end?

How much more can the state take from us?

Hey, I know, let's tax slices of bacon. Bacon is bad for you. When will it all end? It's time to move out of this state. The lawmakers have made a mockery of us. Do they not see how much this all is hurting everyone? When will it end?

This is not Gov. Rauner's fault. It's Madigan's, Preckwinkle's etc.
