    I've posted this before, but everybody in Mt. Greenwood seems content to pay 2-3 times as much in taxes as people in other Chicago neighborhoods. Examples:

    Two Mt. Greenwood style Georgians, but in the 9300 block of Justine:

    $1015 annual taxes - PIN 25-05-317-028-0000

    $1435 annual taxes - PIN 25-05-316-048-0000

    We don't use the schools or call the police, but we pay much more in taxes than those who do!

    I bet neither Cunningham nor O'Shea takes a stand on this.

    Only went down for the ghetto people that don't pay the tax anyway. The white workers will continue to carry the burdon for the entire county, as usual.

    And re-elected Gov. Quinn will expect you to fork over even more.

    You gotta love those liberals, tax and spend!

  4. My tax bill went down $300.00. I gave the increase notice to the ward office and they took care of it. I'm voting for Matt.

    To the Mr 2 Georgians Scenario poster:

    If you take 2 identical Georgians and move them on truck to Alligator Gardens the tax bill would be about $400 a year. Then take the same 2 Georgians and move them to Sauganash the Tax bill would be about $5000. Take the same 2 Georgians and move it to the 1200 block of North Lakeshore drive and the tax bill would be $20,000.

    Taxes are based on how much square footage and the overall real estate values in a neighhborhood

    You are trying to make a statement but we don’t know what you are trying to say.

    And CJ:

    "You gotta love those liberals, tax and spend! "………

    Also you gotta love White Democrats from places like the 19th ward and Mt Greenwood who continue to vote for Democrats because their Grandfather voted Democratic 50 years ago when it was a different party back then.


    They obviously love higher tax bills , sales taxes parking meters , Skyway tolls, Redlight cam fines, And soon parking on 111th street parking meters, parking on Western Meters .

    And the best is yet to come! They voted for Democratic because they know the price of Health care is high. But soon you’ll get Obama care for free!

    To pay for Obama care the State pays for ½ of the care and the Federal Government pays for the other ½. That equals a value added tax on everything but food that will be something like 20% added to the 10.25% we pay now. That equals a 30% sales tax on everything but food.

    Say it’s not true? That is exactly what happened in Europe since they went to free health care. That is why they are going bankrupt now.

    I had friends that went to Canada the years after free healthcare started there in the 1990’s. A case of beer cost $48.00. Casino winnings were taxed.

    Vote Democratic some more and bend over and grab you ankles.

    The message is simple -- everyone needs to pay his or her fair share. We should not be penalized for maintaining our neighborhood!

    Get some Tee Baggers in power here -- they'll fire all the police and fire peeps on the payroll and give everybody a sawed-off shotgun and a pail of water.

    Budget is balanced.

    OFF TOPIC (maybe should be a thread):

    Someone mentioned recently JR Boz, the ice cream shop at 111th/Homan, closed.

    Then the florist shop for years at 111th, just west of Kedzie, closed, although the 19th ward satalitte office moved in there.

    Now Richie's restaurant, at 111th and Troy, closed after 11 years.

    The new Walgreen's is open, minus the promised Starbucks and other shops. Up and down 111th st. in Mount Greenwood there are fewer businesses. Whatta think?

    I just wish the multitude of people who put additions on their houses in Mt Greenwood and Beverly would pay the increased taxes.

    It amazing how many houses in the 19th ward have 2000 square feet added to the structure yet the assessors office still shows it as a 900 square ft cape cod.

    How do you put up an addition with no permit? Or do they not process the permit for a tax increase.

    Soon 111th Street will look as bad as South Shore's 71st Street and Beverly's Western Avenue.

    The flower shop moved more west. JR Boz closed about a month ago, around the same time as Richie's.

    Once you put on an addition, the taxes don't catch up for about 5 years. Once they do, oh do you feel it.
