Illinois Supreme Court Tax Rulings Reshape Cook County Bills
The Illinois Supreme Court last Saturday issued two major orders. One held in contempt a tax strikers group for practicing law without authority, undermining group tax relief schemes. The other reversed a March order to cut building valuations by 15 percent, affecting about 430,000 buildings in Cook County and delaying tax collection for 1931. County Treasurer McDonough sets December 1 for penalties and December 4 for foreclosures, with New Trier township facing over 1.75 million in unpaid 1931 taxes and local taxing bodies arguing over warrants and funding teachers and police amid uncertain 1933 warrants.
