County revamps tax appeal board in Cook County reform plan
Cook County board approves a three member tax assessment appeals board, reshapes elections, and renames the agency amid a scandal cloud. The ordinance proposes one at large member from the county, one from Chicago, and a suburban member, while facing constitutional questions and opposition from some commissioners. The measure follows indictments and convictions tied to the previous board and a push for reapportionment into single member districts.
