@mike1772549@WGNNews@WGNMorningNews@Jenna_Barnes I’ve always said that taxing an unrealized gain is against the very fabric of this country. I paid X, therefore my tax should be based on that. I’m not making any money off of value Y so it shouldn’t be taxed at that value.
No, no, Adam. He wanted you to notice and bask in the pride of being AMERICAN, watch great racing and patriotism on display. Not only that, this was privately funded, not government although it drove thousands of folks to the DC area that have never been (that’s economic impact for you). It allowed folks who have never been to see museums, monuments, the White House and AMERICAN history for the first time as well. And guess what, hundreds of thousands of AMERICANS, blue & red, as well as fans from all over the world loved the #Freedom250! 🇺🇸
JB Pritzker admits property taxes keep going up and up and up.
He’s been governor for eight years. What has he done about it?
We need to freeze them. Cap them at 1%. And give Illinois homeowners a break.
Gov. Pritzker raised taxes again yesterday.
His Tollway Board just raised passenger tolls by 57% and commercial tolls by 30%.
The toll increase will go into effect January 1st.
@BenBradleyTV@AdamHoge What was their excuse before the construction? Taxi times, especially after landing, often took 20+ minutes before this construction.
@rank67503@wttw For existing labor union members so they keep getting a paycheck. Rather than the principles of supply and demand, Illinois raids its citizens’ bank accounts to increase supply when there isn’t demand.
This house featured in the article is at 31st & Clinton in Berwyn. @GovPritzker is bragging about it’s affordability
Let’s check taxes, new bills are out. The 2025 bill is $3,282.47. Sounds fair. Oh wait. Has 3 exemptions including SR Freeze
The buyer bought an estate sale. 1/2
After 11 years as a sports columnist at the Seattle Times, I have decided to resign. It was entirely my choice, and it was not an easy one. The impetus was the Times declining to run a column I wrote from the perspective of two female student athletes who were opposed to competing against biological males. It was one of several pieces of mine that had been spiked, and I no longer felt like I could properly do my job as a columnist. I lay out the situation in greater detail in the link below, but I want to say that I enjoyed my time with the paper, find the talent there to be immense, and have no animosity toward anyone who works there. It was just time for a change.

The IUOE local 150 head makes $635,000/yr from the Union. He gets paid a $32,000 stipend from the State. James Sweeney & all Toll Board members voted unanimously to raise the IL tolls to the highest increase ever
His Union benefits huge from tollway construction work
Democrats!
@GovPritzker Ability to buy versus ability to keep are two different things, Governor. You and the inept politicians of this state have taxed people out of their homes. You preach affordability but do nothing to help.
