“Hey, Neighbor:” What’s with the high taxes?
Our newsroom is planning two town halls this fall for locals to learn about Cook County property taxes and get answers around skyrocketing bills. Here’s how you can help.
Help us investigate high property taxes in the Southland
The Harvey World Herald is launching a new investigative series into residential property taxes in the Southland and planning 2 town halls this fall in collaboration with Civic Federation, a Chicago-based nonpartisan research organization that studies municipal finance. And we want to make sure we’re getting you the answers you deserve. So, what’s on your mind about your property taxes? Help our newsroom dive into this issue by answer a short survey about bills and what’s concerning you most. Responses are private, and not shared with others; feel free to answer as much or as little as you feel comfortable.
We’re filling the void after the collapse of local newspapers decades ago. But we can’t do it without reader support.
