  • Thanks. My property taxes have increased so much that I need to let buildings go into foreclosure.

  • cut taxes, screw all the other shit

  • i am in the front line, working everyday with cuts. 1. i saw the effects of cuting much needed clinics equal increased severity of illness that could have been better managed.

    2. hours for a room just to be seen, hours for a test this is what cutting does to all of us.

  • The budget can BE FIXED!!!!!!! WE SHOULD NOT DIE EVERYDAY because we dont have adequate housing and healthcare.

    DONT CUT THE SERVICE, CUT THE DAMN WASTE

  • If Todd Stroger has got to go, than why did you voted for him?

  • The one speaker made comments about raising property taxes.

    I dont know what she is smoking, but they are high enough as it is.

    I am paying $4800/yr on a house that was built in 1968. That is way too high. I could go into lake county, with newer infrastructure for that rate.

    Plus all I see in my neighborhood, is water mains breaking.

  • We are 500 million in the hole, and alot of services are not done. Plus you have alot of cronys getting paid by the democrat machine.

    LEts not forget they do not bill insurance companies for health care they provide.

    Lets not forget all of the graff and waste.

    Plus lets not forget they crimialized a lot of folks with their latest gun ban.
