The deadline for the payment of Cook County real estate taxes has been pushed back to October 1st. This is a perfect opportunity for the County to add on a surcharge to cover the costs of rioting, looting, and police protection.
ReplyDeletePeople need to reminded of the high cost of criminal behavior.
Don't pay
DeleteYep, as the city and county and state go to sh-t,Lightfoot,Preckwinkle & Pritzker keep up their anti-Trump barrage. The Three Wise Men so to speak. I bet they don't get an invite to Trump's inauguration in January 2021
ReplyDeleteMayor Larry is a monumental failure. Larry has done nothing his entire life, loves to brag that he was a federal prosecutor. Mayor Larry is tiny little person physically and intellectually, with a big mouth. Keep voting DemocRAT and their socialist/progressive platforms. Chicago got what they voted for; Mayor Larry Leftfoot, a monumental failure. Where's Governor Jaba the Hut AKA Jay Bob?
ReplyDeleteShould we even worry about this anymore. After all, black lives do not matter in Chicago to the blacks that are doing the majority of the shootings. ARGH!!
ReplyDeleteYep, I just saw where Uncle Larry boldly told everyone " Not in my City" as her response to Trump sending in troops. Boy what a guy she is! Looting is still going on unchecked and he/she stands there and says the situation is under control. Reminds me of the motto of Madd magazine's Alfred E. Newman " What,me worry?"

ReplyDeleteChicago aldermen denounce Latino violence against black residents raging through Little Village and Pilsen, also seen in Cicero lol!
Meanwhile, nothing is said about Black on Black Crime, which Pilsen and Little Village didn't want from nearby Lawndale and Garfield Park. ☹️
