    From Rubber Stamp to a Divided City Council Chicago City Council Report #11 June 12, 2019 – April 24, 2020 Authored By: Dick Simpson Marco Rosaire Rossi Thomas J. Gradel University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science April 28, 2020 The Chicago Municipal Elections of 2019 sent earthquake-like tremors through the Chicago political landscape. The biggest shock waves caused a major upset in the race for Mayor. Chicago voters rejected Toni Preckwinkle, President of the Cook County Board President and Chair of the Cook County Democratic Party. Instead they overwhelmingly elected former federal prosecutor Lori Lightfoot to be their new Mayor. Lightfoot is a black lesbian woman and was a partner in a major downtown law firm. While Lightfoot had been appointed head of the Police Board, she had never previously run for any political office. More startling was the fact that Lightfoot received 74 % of the vote and won all 50 Chicago's wards. In the same elections, Chicago voters shook up and rearranged the Chicago City Council. seven incumbent Aldermen lost their seats in either the initial or run-off elections. A total of 12 new council members were victorious and were sworn in on May 20, 2019 along with the new Mayor. The new aldermen included five Socialists, five women, three African Americans, five Latinos, two council members who identified as LGBT, and one conservative Democrat who formally identified as an Independent. Before, the victory parties and swearing-in ceremonies were completed, politically interested members of the general public, politicians, and the news media began speculating about how the relationship between the new Mayor and the new city council would play out.

  • Chicago's 2021 Reassessment: How Might Taxes Shift?
    CHICAGO’S 2021 REASSESSMENT: HOW MIGHT TAXES SHIFT? ULI Chicago Property Tax Incidence Task Force JUNE 2021 About Urban Land Institute Chicago The Urban Land Institute (ULI) is a global, member-driven organization dedicated to advancing the Institute’s mission: shape the future of the built environment for transformative impact in communities worldwide. ULI Chicago, a District Council of the Urban Land Institute, has over 1,400 members in the Chicago area representing all aspects of the real estate industry, including developers, property owners, investors, architects, planners, public officials, real estate brokers, appraisers, attorneys, engineers, financiers, and academics. ULI Chicago Property Tax Incidence Task Force Chicago’s 2021 Reassessment: How Might Taxes Shift? June 2021 Executive Summary Every property owner in Chicago wants to pay less in property taxes. They also want taxes to be fair and predictable. The real estate investment community was alarmed by the increases in proposed assessed value in the first portion of the County to be reassessed by newly elected Assessor Kaegi. The changes in assessed value and the uncertainty involved in City of Chicago reassessments due in 2021 for taxes payable in 2022 was believed to have a chilling effect on investor interest leading to a call to review the potential tax impact or incidence of the new practices when applied to the City of Chicago. This study—the result of a collaborative effort with the Chicago District Council of the Urban Land Institute, the City of Chicago, and the Cook County Assessor’s Office—constructs a hypothetical scenario of what fair assessment and taxation might have looked like and how it might impact different types of properties.
