Cook County property tax bills can’t be delayed by questions about how senior discounts were calculated, Kim Foxx says after uproar by clerk and treasurer

Yarbrough said in a statement that, “pursuant to the recent concerning report in the Chicago Sun-Times, the Clerk’s Office temporarily suspended the calculation of tax rates in an abundance of caution. This was not undertaken as a legal matter, per se, but rather out of genuine concern for the senior community and in the interest of all Cook County taxpayers.”
