Seniors play a critical role in our communities.
They're very active in CAPS, they mentor young people and they're a growing part of the population. The general obligation bond program will be paid for through efficiencies and select fee hikes, including raising the price of a vehicle sticker. That's why they should take advantage of tax relief programs that help keep Chicago affordable for all. These include the Senior Citizens Tax Freeze, the Homeowner's Exemption and the Chicago Homeowners Assistance Program. The Mayor also pointed out that neither the sewer rate increase or the vehicle sticker increase apply to seniors.
