IL RISING: Escaping Illinois' Property Taxes

Illinois' high property taxes are crushing middle and lower income earners.

On this edition of Illinois Rising, Dan Proft and Wirepoints' President Ted Dabrowski discuss how the state's high property taxes are affecting all homeowners – rich, poor, middle class, famous and not. And they discuss the political status quo that wants to keep it this way.
