    Cook County Tax Assessor Fritz Kaegi per Fox 32 News, July 22, 2024, "...the tax burden on residents in Calumet City and other south suburban communities is partly due to the Cook County Board of Review granting significant tax breaks to large businesses, such as $370,000 reduction given to local Home Depot. However, the Board argues that the Assessor's office made errors in property assessments, contributing to the issue." I betcha you did, Kaegi! Mayor Jones is "proposing a legislative solution to provide relief. He is crafting a bill that would offer residents a $5,000 credit towards their tax bills."

    Economic Development in Cal City is essential in creating a better way of life for constituents, which Cal City has been granted grants for Economic Developments through the Infrastructure Bill and other sources. Thank you, President Biden! I find it painful to see stalled projects around the city with an inkling of work to not starting at all. Economic Growth with the planned purchase of Shopper’s World (another purchase cost), for redevelopment of an apartment building with a hefty price that will be trickled down to homeowners’ taxes. I understood the state funding and Cook County Land Bank estimated it at $60 mil. Projected cost $110 mil! Economic Growth is not going to guarantee revenue with redevelopment of Shopper’s World. Cal City has purchased abandoned homes in our municipality, which can be revamped for home usage and income for the city. Regarding the outlandish hike in residential property taxes, the mayor is not to blame for the 30-50% increase. Mayor Jones addressed the local property taxes have not risen in the last few years. One can check previous billings. Cook County Assessor’s Office is using outdated/inaccurate information doing Triennial Property Tax Assessment. It is vital an appeal must be made with due diligence to accurately search for comps that match your property’s attributes/characteristics. A property tax bill is determined by the amount the municipal charge and the property’s owner’s assessed value of home. One other thought came to mind, 2020 was a seller’s market with incredibly low interest rates. With that being said, the Triennial Property Tax Assessment may have solidified the higher taxes in the second installment property’s taxes 2023. County Assessor information showing the housing market boom in value of the homes due to the seller’s market. Hence, state law makers must stop this Triennial Property Tax Assessment!

    I can not assess how my property tax bill portion to Cal City is .37 cent per homeowner, as the mayor mentioned. In viewing the 2023, 2nd installment property tax bill, assessed for school district, library, Memorial Park District, and City of Cal City , certainly adds up more than 37 cent. Not including Thornton Township, Mosquito Abatement Program and Cook County. This video is the first I have heard of the Youth Employment Program. I would have made a community message on the Ring app. Youths need to stay engaged and not idle. Wow, Green Alley Project sounds so enchanting, which would be a dream for our alley that is riddled with holes that have become craters filled with rocks by neighbors. My vehicle may have been victim to the deep caverns in the alley with a $350+ left wheel bearing replacement. New tires purchased last year, and the alignment was so minor. Thus, I am concluding that it was not normal wear and tear. I called Public Works early March to have the alley at 400 Webb regraded, contacted via email Alderman (no pics) and Department of Public Works with pictures. Street is plagued with deep potholes as well. Guess my .37 from property tax is not going to go too far.

    With a sleepless night, I had to revisit Cal City’s HO property tax assessed .37 to the municipal. Thinking perhaps, .37 per each dollar of total assessment to include all variables; Park, library, schools, Cal City. Viewing the transcripts seems ubiquitous in the transcript. See video/transcript @ 50:15 - 50:35. The portion of the tax bill is 37 cents. Then, it mentioned approximately 37 cents more. I can only conclude from my 2nd installment tax bill of 2023, much more went to the coffer of Cal City. #misinformation

    Great I hope they are getting funding to fix the other streets cause I know most definitely 147th between Sibley and Wentworth needs fixing,new traffic flow cause they do not pay attention to the stop signs at all plus the safety of homeowners and pedestrian and the day care on the corner need a traffic light there or speed bumps they think Sibley is a racetrack how fast they be driving is ridiculous.🙏🏾

    There is a Calumet City resident who went to a nursing home in South Holland and was removed after staying there 1 1/2 months. Brenda Bell, an employee of the nursing home, took 81 years old Oliver Bacott from the nursing home and married him without his ID. Can you help. He has dementia and if any tells him they are going to take him home, he will leave with them. I called Calumet City police dept, and the police I spoke with hung up on me. We live in the park of river oaks. My name is Alice Wilson

    Accolades to Cal City Police Department in solving the 58 year old cold case of the young woman, which I'm sure bring solace to her family. Remarkable work of the detectives, thankful they followed up on the lead! Charles Pryor, thank you for your service in the U.S. Armed Forces, with continual actions to advocate for veterans on The Hill! Veterans need unyielding support from local, state, and federal governments always. Along with kudo always to Senator Richard Durbin and Tammy Duckworth!

    😅 i like how they came up with a "lead" decades later sound like u taking credit for a psychic's work .... Stealing Intel from the psychic's place of residence...u was illegal investigating someone for someone u messing around with and u came across some paperwork in the room uwasnt supposed to be in ...the papers have names and daters and spiritual victims statements and u took pics ...ur not the only person that took has seen my papers cold case are being solved with the insight u got from coming into the psychic room room . Either way its time to let innocent people out jail dna is where the truth lies lol eith way thats all that matters
