A civic organization in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood
From Lt. John Willner, CPD
Hello,

A message from Commissioner John Fritchey:
Nobody wants to pay more in taxes than they are supposed to. If your property taxes are too high, you have every right to appeal them. Lakeview Township will soon open for appeals with the Cook County Board of Review, providing taxpayers in the township an opportunity to file an appeal of their taxes.
To help you with this process, I, and Cook County Board of Review Commissioner Michael Cabonargi, will be hosting an appeals workshop to answer any questions you may have and to assist you with filing an appeal. Details are as follows:
**Please remember to bring your most recent property tax bill**

What happened at the September meeting? It’s in the newsletter.
One fact that few people know about me is that before I went to law school, I was a working stiff journalist (Medill, MSJ ‘73), and I spent a fair part of my life attending various meetings. So I was a bit surprised, even dismayed when I saw the headline on the Roscoe View Journal’s article about the meeting at which South Lakeview Neighbors discussed, then voted on a “special use” permit for a hookah lounge: “Proposed Hookah Lounge Meets Ethnic Prejudice at SLVN Meeting.” I wasn’t sure that Mr. Fourcher and I had been at the same meeting.
