Maria Pappas, Cook County Treasurer, joins WGN-TV Political Report to talk a new report about increases in property tax bills, which areas are hit the hardest.
😂She's on national tv here wearing that increased property tax money jacket rubbing it in everyone's face knowing there is nothing anyone can do about it.
@@KazeriantheVIIII Seriously have to have balls ⚽️ 🏈 🏀 to be so unashamed about wearing people’s money waving it in everyone’s face without any clear answers on where the $ is going.
If you are friends with Toni Preckwinkle, she will say that your property is worth nothing so you can get a tax break and then you can sell it for millions like her friends did :(
The bottom line is that these crooks keep increasing their salaries, doing less, and charging more for taxes. Show us the books first before asking for more handouts.
No! taxpayers are supposed to just shut their mouths and pay up. The only people that get help are the very poor and the very rich. Everyone in the middle gets literally fudged!!!
Yah. Every time, when property taxes get ridiculous, there is corruption. I live in the town with the best public schools in the country, they sure spend all kinds of $ on those kids and taxes are quite low. But many people who live here are involved in the DC government so they are less likely to accept $ mismanagement. It’s always crazy that the richest towns with the best schools have the lowest taxes. That should tell you something.
Chicago spends $30,000 dollars a year per student yet the average in the state of Ill. is $12,457. Chicago has one of the worst school district in the nation. This is where your Taxes are going.
The fact that homeowners now pay 53% of the taxes is all you need to know. City commissioners have been bought off by the largest companies in the city.
I don’t know about the red of blue. But she certainly took some green to wear that ridiculous outfit to rub it into peoples faces getting kicked out of their homes. “Let them eat cake…”
She informed the great unwashed that, "The levy, which is a word no one understands, it's not a dam. We're not in Colorado." Ha, ha. Thanks for adding insult to injury for people that are struggling to keep their hard earned homes.
What the he** is she wearing. This is the person that priced me and so many others out of the city and state. WOW!!! Anyone who goes on tv wearing that fake KISS outfit and talking about how its not her fault that property taxes are thru the roof (no pun intended) is definitely missing a few screws. Now it all makes sense.
With that much money going to public services then cook county should have the best schools, roads, police, fire, emt, parks etc in the whole of the world and the history of America.
Deflection is the name of her game. She knows who is responsible for all this by name and is too gutless to say who are the crooks pulling her strings.
Property taxes would be alot lower for people without kids and should be paid by parents with kids in school...like college, why should we who don't have children pay for a family of 10 kids' education...
So it the taxes that’s the problem or the cause, which is the cost of everything- The ability to legally decide profit margins without any justification other than how much you believe your time is worth, producing a product or service? We blame government for our ills when we are the government. We are eating ourselves from the inside out because of the cultural beliefs of who we think we are, what we deserve and can only be weighted by what we think other don’t deserve.. Our value system has been a sickness for hundreds of years (not too many generations ago) and now the chickens are coming home to roost. There’s no getting out of this now, without a value system overhaul.
Another way to put people out. Everyone needs to get together and put those people out of office. And take it highest they can to put these thieves where they can't ever do this again. This may be next ghost city/town.
She needs to learn a 5 letter word....SITUS. No property tax without a situs. They are misapplying statutes to NON COMMERCIAL property. Go find Steve Emerson interviews on RUclips.
If your Treasurer dresses like this to go on TV blame yourself for voting her in. WTF!? Narcissist much? Y'all need to find out who's personal bank acct all the money is going in. Happens all over regardless of the Political party in charge. Township Trustee where I used to work got arrested for Embezzling years ago. 1000% that, mismanagement, and hooking up buddies on Govt contracts for kickbacks are the issue.
Sounds like what's happening here. We have to pay other peeps for what we did 10 years ago and now all the cali an Washington peeps are moving here. I'll be homeless before to long. I'm glad I dont have any dept. I'll just move to another country
More people will leave the state/county, leaving fewer to pay the taxes and they will have to raise taxes again, and again. Sell your house if you can for what you can get. Chicago's future is Detroit.
Pappas will get a large pension from local government at the expense of the property owners. That's why the huge squeeze on property taxes. It's not about schools. It's about the large pension deficit for city workers like this useless bureaucrat. People should move out of the state.
@@mrshawterry6 wow,,, your such a clickbait racial arsonist.. Well at least i know your the type of person that cant handle the truth.... Do you even know the leader of the proud boys is black.. If you ever want to know whats really going on in the world watch fox news or newsmax or next news network... Oh and the salty cracker is my personal favorite 😆 all truth so maybe you better not, your brain couldnt handle it. But have a nice day
Maria Pappas nails it. There is a cottage industry of legal consultants in Cook County, who "assist" homeowners in challenging their assessment. KEY FEATURE: Whatever the ruling, it must be re-litigated year-to-year. The people of Cook County should not complain. They have the best government that money can buy.
There is nothing wrong with high property taxes. When you look at the benefits of living in Chicago and Cook County with it's excellent schools, clean safe streets, beautiful clean parks, and the highly motivated workforce that comes with above average salary and stable pensions for their employees. Taxpayers should be grateful.
Taxes on one of you most substantive rights is a misapplication of state statutes intended for commercial properties. Stop challenging the amount of the assessment which says you are ok with the tax, just not the amount. The question is…if the state which is restricted by the constitution to impose taxes on your non commercial property lacking a taxable situs, how was the municipality granted the power? This is as unconstitutional as the day is long. Know your rights.
Sure, keep acting like this bullshit isn't happening everywhere. Please keep being blinded by this two-party crap - it really helps both Democrat and Republican puppets who laugh at average citizens who're left to deal with the garbage policies.
It's sad Americans do not understand the property tax laws of our great country. Property taxes are a direct tax, not on the real estate or home, but on the owner. Any direct taxes are due to apportionment or census on a state level. The state government cannot legally pull a number out of thin air and raise individuals property taxes arbitrarily.
Omg this woman is laughing about the whole situation, she thinks is funny, what a disgrace, she looks ridiculous, she is working for God's sake, dress accordingly she reflects what's wrong with illinois ... We are on the wrong hands ..🤦
Translation: We all gave OURSELVES raises and the tax payer has to pay.
Now we knew where the increased property tax money goes, the treasurer's multi-million wardrobe.
😂She's on national tv here wearing that increased property tax money jacket rubbing it in everyone's face knowing there is nothing anyone can do about it.
@@KazeriantheVIIII Seriously have to have balls ⚽️ 🏈 🏀 to be so unashamed about wearing people’s money waving it in everyone’s face without any clear answers on where the $ is going.
This is the treasurer? No wonder we're screwed 😂
I did not know our Treasurer was a complete potato.
@@shawnmichaels4805 what do you mean? she is very honest and telling you where the money is going and where the problem is.
If you are friends with Toni Preckwinkle, she will say that your property is worth nothing so you can get a tax break and then you can sell it for millions like her friends did :(
The bottom line is that these crooks keep increasing their salaries, doing less, and charging more for taxes. Show us the books first before asking for more handouts.
Yelpppppp. So insecure

It’s pretty obvious this woman is involved in the embezzlement. The extravagant expensive outfits don’t pay for themselves
She makes 300-400K a year. I'm sure she is all for raising property tax bills so she can get more.
They all blame each other, that is tha actual scam. They all pretend to blame each other when they are all in on it. SAD SCAM
Chicago spends $30,000 dollars a year per student yet the average in the state of Ill. is $12,457. Chicago has one of the worst school district in the nation. This is where your Taxes are going.
KISS wants their costume back. Wondering why Cook County financials are messed up- She's a hint .
Cruella DeVille. 🦡
Her taste in clothing more than explains the state of things in Chicago.
In the old days tax revenuers we’re tarred and feathered. The good old days
This is another reason not to move to Crook County.✋
The fact that homeowners now pay 53% of the taxes is all you need to know. City commissioners have been bought off by the largest companies in the city.
Where's the money going?
$300 haircut.
$1K jacket.
😒.
I wonder if she took the Red or Blue pill 💊 this morning? 🤔
I don’t know about the red of blue. But she certainly took some green to wear that ridiculous outfit to rub it into peoples faces getting kicked out of their homes. “Let them eat cake…”
She informed the great unwashed that, "The levy, which is a word no one understands, it's not a dam. We're not in Colorado." Ha, ha.
Thanks for adding insult to injury for people that are struggling to keep their hard earned homes.
Here's one thing you didn't mention: have the government LOWER THEIR SPENDING? THAT is the REAL problem.
Maria Pappas’s choice of clothes for an important interview to her constituents shows she isn’t sensitive or maybe even cares.
How come theses politicians sounds like crooks😒
Not very many solutions. Get these bureaucrats out.
What the he** is she wearing. This is the person that priced me and so many others out of the city and state. WOW!!! Anyone who goes on tv wearing that fake KISS outfit and talking about how its not her fault that property taxes are thru the roof (no pun intended) is definitely missing a few screws.

Did she come directly from some Rocky Horror Picture show event?
With that much money going to public services then cook county should have the best schools, roads, police, fire, emt, parks etc in the whole of the world and the history of America.
@Rich Casino I think they pay more taxes as well.
This lady comes in dressed like Micheal Jackson Russian oligarch 😊with half answers about where the $ is going….
Deflection is the name of her game. She knows who is responsible for all this by name and is too gutless to say who are the crooks pulling her strings.
CROOK COUNTY = WHY I LFT ALONG TIME AGO
That’s the way a professional dresses these days? Good lord….no class
You cant pay what you dont have. Cant borrow. If everyone stopped paying the bill would magically drop. No mention of crime. hmm
I had to laught when she said soho. hahahaha.
Property taxes would be alot lower for people without kids and should be paid by parents with kids in school...like college, why should we who don't have children pay for a family of 10 kids' education...
The outfit like something Moira Rose from Schitt's Creek would wear.
Buy in Chicago @ Ur Own Tax Risk.

Everyone were do we start? wean do we start my taxes weant up 4k last yr enough is enough
The majority of their voters are renters.
took the money and got facelifts
I wish the DuPage county treasurer had her style. That jacket is amazing!!
Love the outfit Maria, are you trying to lure me back to Chicago ? 🖤👽 And you look pretty cool as well. 🖤👽
So the taxes went down where the current mayor lives, how convenient 🤔
She needs to learn a 5 letter word....SITUS. No property tax without a situs. They are misapplying statutes to NON COMMERCIAL property. Go find Steve Emerson interviews on RUclips.
Is this Chicago's Miranda Priestly? "That's all"
What is she wearing? 😂
Probably a $20k wardrobe stolen from taxpayers.
@@BigSlickNuts2 yes, all they do is steal money from the taxpayers. Yet people keep voting in the same politicians.
The reason the taxes are up in Hispanic areas is because they have 50 people living in one dwelling, the free ride is over, pay up. Pay my taxes!
0:53 she looks like a character from Flash Gordon😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What ever happen to pay what the property is worth…🤓
0:02 laughing at you for tax increase.
The people in Illinoi's have to throw theam all out from office starting with the mayor and this yr is happening
She kept throwing Fritz Kaegi under the bus over and over and for some reason I thought Elvis had come back to life.

Too much is being spent for how many people are in this state.
%20 of the taxes goes to Pappas's wardrobe. I think they are wasting tax money.
Sounds like what's happening here. We have to pay other peeps for what we did 10 years ago and now all the cali an Washington peeps are moving here. I'll be homeless before to long. I'm glad I dont have any dept. I'll just move to another country
what can you recommend ? MOVE!
What else would you expect, it's Chicago.
Black caucus puppet treas
Extremely common misconception: im good at my job because ive been doing it a long time.....Maria Pappas is kiving proof that that claim is false
More people will leave the state/county, leaving fewer to pay the taxes and they will have to raise taxes again, and again. Sell your house if you can for what you can get. Chicago's future is Detroit.
Detroit 2.0 here we come!
B.S. what happened to the lottery money
If she says Soho one more time....

This is what you get for voting democrat 😆 😆 😆...
When you get out of prison? did'nt i c u in Washington inside that building ?

Don't renovate your neighborhoods. Keep them a slum if you want lower taxes.
Look at these joker. Lir they know exactly wat they do. Tha tax is not real is your sanding tha bills you know there Rong
Who's the woman with the Rod Stewart hairstyle
Haha she looks like the lovechild of a late 80's color block La-Z-Boy and Jon Bon Jovi
You need to leave n live where tax is not crazy check city data n save thousands possible hundred of thousands
♂️ 👀
She was talking about this 2 years ago soooooooo hahaha

Maria looks gorgeous!
it is not the people who should pick up the slack for the failed business sector ! WTF
That 100 billion dollars for yukraine has to come from somewhere.
Yes this woman seems very trustworthy and competent, not.
Omg this woman is laughing about the whole situation, she thinks is funny, what a disgrace, she looks ridiculous, she is working for God's sake, dress accordingly she reflects what's wrong with illinois ...
We are on the wrong hands ..🤦
I don't doubt she's intoxicated.
