Cook County Board Urges State to Repeal Measure Impeding Senior Property Tax Break
(Chicago Tribune) — State legislators should repeal a new law requiring Cook County senior citizens to prove each year that they are eligible for a special property tax break, commissioners said Wednesday.
The Cook County Board unanimously passed a resolution urging the General Assembly to reverse that requirement, joining Mayor Richard Daley and the City Council, which approved a similar measure last week. All expressed concern about more than 150,000 senior-led households that get breaks ranging from $157 to $823. The tax break currently rolls over from year to year but now will have to be renewed annually.
