Committeeman John Arena

This really needs to be read.

One point he leaves out is the issue of tax rates. They are high because they are directly tied to the Berrios system of unfair assessments. If there is equity in assessments then the tax rates can come down because the levy will be satisfied by the revenues generated from previously under valued property.

Also, the large building owners that benefit from the “Chicago Way” and hire the Madigan’s and Burkes, love the smaller players carrying the misleading attacks on Kaegi forward. Better to have an angry mob do the work for them than bring attention to the game they are playing.

Lastly, it’s not that residential is getting a break here. Residential taxes are up too. My house was assessed at $175k for years. Now it’s assessed at $380. And so goes my tax bill.
It’s not residential v. commercial it’s big corporate v. small business.

Where else do we see that playing out in our economy? (Hint: everywhere)

Lawsuit Claiming Ald. Jim Gardiner Wrongfully Had Constituent Arrested Over Staffer's Lost Phone Moves Forward The suit from a former resident of Gardiner's ward alleges an officer told him: “I believe you. I wasn’t going to arrest you, but this person has power and I have bosses.”

This is still an issue despite science telling us Covid does not communicate via contact. Grocery stores will still not bag groceries in consumer provided bags. Experienced this last night at a local grocery store.

First stop on Small Business Saturday, Gale Street Inn - Chicago!
