Tax DODGERS UNION PRESSURES City on Tax Equity
Alderman Krueger seeks an opinion on City Council powers to address alleged bias in property taxation favoring wealthy interests. The piece condemns Union Stock Yards Company for blocking streets with packing houses and viaducts, claiming public utilities were laid on stolen streets and calling for government take possession and removal of structures. It cites valuations by packers and criticizes the assessors for under taxing stock yards holdings, arguing a need to tax wealthier interests more fairly to relieve the burden on poorer homeowners.
