(Chicago Sun Times) — The City of Chicago really isn’t trying to chase small businesses away from the needy West Pullman community. But the business owners can be excused for thinking that it is. Their crisis in faith arrived in November with the property tax bill, payable by Dec. 13. These were the dreaded “second installment” bills for the year. Chicago homeowners and merchants schooled in the process know to expect sometimes big changes in the year’s second and last tax bill. A cluster of businesses along South Halsted did not, however, expect bills to more than double from what they paid earlier this year.
