Peggy Joyce in Chicago Court Seeks Alimony and Fees

Is There a Joker in Assessor Bill The Bridgeport Tax Issue

A flawed 1921 Bridgeport measure creates a paradox by dissolving the tax commissioner and all assessors on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, leaving the city without assessors.
