With the opening of the Concert Stage, the common taxpayer now enjoys a
park property previously restricted to jet-setters.


Are concert-goers required to produce a tax receipt for entry?

Chicago should look into turning O'Hare and Midway into concert venues as
well.

My DuPage County tax bill has included the DUPAGE airport for decades,
no benefit to me
or 99.999% of the population

Well, the concert is enjoyable outside in the park on a blanket, for
FREE! And the firefighters
from Meigs are now deployed to serve all taxpayers.

You actually believe the stuff you're posting here, including that
little non-truth?

He's either an idiot or a troll (or both). Either way, why keep feeding
him?

Peter,

Either way, why keep feeding
him?


I was so stunned he came back at all after that first post, I just had
to reply.

DuPage population is 800,000 people, maybe 400 pilots use it, Get off
my property tax bill
you moochers. Gotta love that GOP low tax crowd, except when it
benefits them.

Where did you get that 400 pilot figure? Are you saying that one must be a
pilot to benefit from an airport?



Get off my property tax bill you moochers.


Can you post a property tax bill that shows tax revenue supporting the
airport?

Are you saying that only Republicans benefit from airports?

What does the non-pilot get?

Funny the authority doesn't mention it on their website:
http://www.dupageairport.com/
But they claim to be a:
"Independent, non-elected, business-oriented Airport Board of
Commissioners"

From http://www.napervillehouses.com/property_taxes.htm:

Taxing Authority 2003 Tax Rate
DuPage County .1999
DuPage County Forest Preserve .1419
DuPage Airport Authority .0230, (over $20 from yours truely)

I'll answer your question after you answer mine.

Perhaps that's because tax revenues aren't supporting the airport.



From http://www.napervillehouses.com/property_taxes.htm:

But is that $20 supporting the airport?
