Alden Loury—The Truth about Taxes

Alden Loury tells you everything you need to know about property taxes. Including…why we need them. Why we hate them. Why they’re unfair and not up for the task we demand of them. How they force people to leave their neighborhoods. Ben adds a few words about TIFs. Which are property tax hikes. Even if corporate Chicago and all their city council flunkies pretend they aren’t. Alden is a writer and editor for WBEZ and one of Chicago’s foremost demographers. His views are his own.
