  1. Yes indeedy!

    McHenry County highest taxed county in Illinois!

    Thank you RINOs!!!

  2. Yes indeed.

    Part of the problem is the township tax assessors, who are generally incompetent.

  3. Woodstock taxes drove us out!!!!

    Nero (Woodstock Mayer Sager) fiddled on top of the copper old courthouse roof as Woodstock crumbled.

    Now the tax payers have to put it back together as he tries to leave.

    Glad I’m not there any more.

  4. Perhaps Kenneally could work for free to save the taxpayers money as any jackalope could do his job.
    His office under his supervision got beaten by a man with no legal experience recently in a animal cruelty case.
    The only cases this political hack in my opinion is winning are plea bargains and slam dunks that are guilty to certainty.
