Why must we pay the price for idiocy?
We just found that our tax bill for our home in the south part of Arlington Heights has increased a whopping 19.22 percent from last year. Are these people out of their minds? The state “equalizer” increased over 13 percent. We are fortunate enough to have a senior exemption and homeowners exemption, and our assessed evaluation was lowered, so how did they come up with this mammoth increase?
This state is in real trouble. It is run by fiscal idiots who just keep going to the well for more money to waste. And now Gov. Quinn will campaign for an income tax increase. We've lived here for many years, but it's time to move.
