We're sick of excuses on property taxes

Posted November 11, 2009 10:00 pm

I just got my homeowner's tax bill today and just about hit the ceiling. I went up $944 in taxes. If the politicians don't think I'm angry they better think again. They have an excuse for when the taxes go up when the values of the homes are up, and now they have excuses when the home values are way down from the depression.

This goes beyond a slap in the face. The people in the Chicago area better start waking up and start throwing out all the politicians that are in office now to show them their appreciation for the biggest tax increase ever. Yes, that's what I plan on doing, I intend on voting all you thieves out of office. First it's Stroger that shafts us and now the rest of the politicians shaft us. For Halloween we got the trick.
