I took the time to complete @ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey to share my vision and goals!

Well, here is our response.

Under incumbent assessor Fritz Kaegi, property tax assessments have spiked. Now these same neighborhoods hit hardest have higher delinquency rates. Vote on March 17th for new leadership at the Assessor's office!

Hey Fritz, this you?

After two shaky terms and voter anger about their property tax bills, Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi is in the fight of his political life.

It's expensive to have an incompetent County Assessor like Fritz Kaegi.
Delayed receipt of the property tax causes chaos and results in the waste of taxpayer dollars. 4 out of the last 6 assessments produced caused a late tax bill.

The full $260 million advance pension payment was a pivotal part of the alternative city budget approved over Mayor Brandon Johnson's objections. But the mayor chose to make the payment in two installments. https://t.co/2OGGrzEpz3

Late tax bills have cost Cook County schools nearly $122 million, district leaders say https://t.co/9tmEHUYCVg

The current Assessor spent his career making millions off of big corporations and what you get is a system that doesn’t work for working families and our neighborhood small businesses.

The Tribune requested the past four years of tax returns from the Democratic candidates for Cook County Board president and assessor. Here's what they show. https://t.co/Su75zpxByR

Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi's office hosted an informational meeting Monday in West Garfield Park to help property owners find savings on their property tax bills, which have increased by more than 100% in some South and West side neighborhoods. https://t.co/dF1KzFdfyz

[Hynes for Assessor @Hynes4Assessor]

Then why are property tax assessments up to 300% more in West and Southside neighborhoods in Chicago but not others? https://t.co/T4pcJ4NwhI

Opinion: Working families deserve better than Fritz Kaegi's broken assessments https://t.co/lGgSTVA1sy

[Hynes for Assessor @Hynes4Assessor]

You created the rigged see saw system (poorly built I might add). These are YOUR property tax assessments. Increasing poor communities by 300% in some cases and reducing for the wealthy communities. That is NOT a fairer system.

Big corporations have been gaming the property tax system for years. When their bills go down, yours go up to make up the difference — just like a seesaw.

The system is rigged. That’s why I'm fighting to make it fairer for you.

Proud to have the endorsement and trust of the @chicagolabor!

Federation of Labor backs Pat Hynes over Fritz Kaegi for Cook County assessor https://t.co/DDBhi24p2V

[Hynes for Assessor @Hynes4Assessor]

So you expect us to believe that YOUR decision to double and in some cases triple assessments in North Lawndale, West Garfield Park, Englewood & Austin would not have resulted in a crushing property tax increase for these taxpayers but for (insert boogeyman here)?

@WGNRadioNews

[Hynes for Assessor @Hynes4Assessor]

@royalpratt Oops - that's a mistake! Won't happen again. I wish Fritz Kaegi would say the same thing with the thousands of mistakes he has made assessing peoples homes costing taxpayers millions of dollars each year.

Leodus Thomas Jr. sees a brighter future for Chicago’s West Side. It’s why, after buying his house in Austin nine years ago, he decided to become a developer. But in the last several years, a new threat has emerged.
