Tinley Park raises property tax by 3.8%, the first increase since 2022
9+ min ago (592+ words) The Tinley Park Village Board voted Tuesday to raise the village's property tax levy by 3.8%, marking the first increase since 2022 for the village that prides itself on keeping costs down for residents. The levy of $32.2 million translates to about a $43 increase per household, officials said. The levy also includes a little over $6 million to fund operation of the Tinley Park Public Library, no increase from last year. Trustees also voted to abate a about $5 million from the levy to pay debt service on outstanding bond issues. Without the abatement, the levy total would have been about $37.2 million. Interim Finance Director Hannah Lipman said Tuesday abatements have saved property owners about $90 million over the years, as these debts would have been levied for property taxes. "At the end of the day, the Village Board has been doing everything in their power…...

Chicagoans of the Year for Museums: National Public Housing Museum staff keeps residents at heart
42+ min ago (569+ words) In 1968, Crystal Palmer and her family moved to the seventh floor of the Henry Horner Homes. It felt like penthouse living: No longer did she and her siblings have to sleep three to a room, and other residents on the floor left their door unlocked, like a big family. "We ate together; we cried together," she recalled. "We're still a family today, those of us that are still living." Palmer is a Chicago Housing Authority lifer. She returned to Henry Horner as an adult, moving out 14 years ago. Today, she's CHA's assistant director of resident engagement. What "outsiders or naysayers" may not realize about public housing is that the projects were, for many residents, the "best place (they) ever lived," Palmer said. Likewise, Evanston resident Sunny Fischer was dazzled when she moved into the Eastchester Projects in the South Bronx…...
