Questions for Council & Your Alderperson
Who / What / Where / Why prompts for Ward 6 โ based on verified community submissions, not an official city audit.
What actions will council take if 85.7% of participating Ward 6 properties report increases above the 69% benchmark, while the ward weighted aggregate change is +77.9%?
Where in Ward 6 are homeowners seeing the largest concentration of above-benchmark increases, and will the city request targeted assessor review for those blocks before Board of Review closes?
Why does the arithmetic mean increase (+78.3%) differ from the weighted aggregate (+77.9%) in Ward 6, and how should council message that difference so residents do not confuse percentage averages with total tax-base shifts?
Who represents Ward 6 on council, and will you host a ward listening session before October Board of Review so residents can share record-card errors and infrastructure issues tied to their assessments?
What transparency will the city provide on levy decisions this fall so Ward 6 owners know whether their relative tax share change reflects assessment shifts, budget votes, or both?
