Good points. I live in a county in Illinois that has had the highest property taxes in the country. It’s mostly rural. Not even a close Chicago collar county with larger cities. It’s been Republican run for 150 years. Just sayin’.

This isn't a democrat issue. It's a politician issue, from both sides of the isle and they're equally despicable because they love to use the issues for campaign talking points but then never do anything of significance about it. It's definitely a Gov Abbott move.

You must be paying for a large University too. 🙋‍♀️

I forgot to mention in my first comment that my daughter and SIL adopted our 2 beautiful granddaughters 7 years ago through through the state. In TX, adoption through the state allows for pretty much a free 4 yr college degree at a TX state university. If they really want to encourage adoption, they would stop making the process so hard to do so.

Haha. We’re paying for a school with the lowest test scores in the county.

Higher than Cook county? I think I’d debate you on that. I’m in a Southern burb of Chicago, I honestly don’t know how some of my friends are paying their taxes.
