They never do. Just like taxes, they get bigger every year.

My brother called me yesterday and said he is going to make his tax bill smaller.

He put his condo on the market and is moving to Tennessee. Had enough of the white crap and taxes. LOL

Good evening Illinois and Ford Truck enthusiasts, Ken, Sean, Rod, and Ian!

Having another wet one here today. Illinois has had so much rain the Illinois River is 4 foot over flood stage and is expected to come up another 6 feet. Sure glad that I don't live close to the River.

The City has been sandbagging the Riverfront Park.yesterday and today.

Good evening Illinois, Rick, Sean, Ian, Ken, Don and crew reporting.
We have had rain but the rivers have been low and flowing well. But this could change!
I hated sandbagging - that is some work!

Hope everyone is ready for Hump Day.

Howdy Rod!

The City has made it easy. They roll out a long plastic tarp and pile sand on it with an end loader then roll the tarp around the sand like a tube, then pile sandbags along the seam. Easy peasy, works.
