Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi discussed rising tax bills for homeowners when he faced questions from the County Board of Commissioners for the second time in a week on Monday. While he faced questions last Monday about how his office has addressed the “apartment loophole” at a county legislation committee meeting, this past week he addressed how the government could alleviate the burden of higher property tax bills for homeowners.
