wrote in message oups.com... 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. |

Are concert-goers required to produce a tax receipt for entry? My DuPage County tax bill has included the DUPAGE airport for decades, no benefit to me or 99.999% of the population Chicago should look into turning O'Hare and Midway into concert venues as well. 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. JG |

Get off my property tax bill you moochers. Can you post a property tax bill that shows tax revenue supporting the airport? Gotta love that GOP low tax crowd, except when it benefits them. Are you saying that only Republicans benefit from airports? |

Can you post a property tax bill that shows tax revenue supporting the airport? 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) Gotta love that GOP low tax crowd, except when it benefits them.

wrote in message oups.com... What does the non-pilot get? I'll answer your question after you answer mine. 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" Perhaps that's because tax revenues aren't supporting the airport. 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) But is that $20 supporting the airport? |
