Are you wondering how much your school districts, village and library are taxing their residents? Then you need to read this list.
By now all homeowners in Cook County should have received their property tax bills. The following information is provided by the Cook County Clerk's Office and compares the year over year taxing rates of all local bodies.

Residential assessments decrease 19.9 percent in Worth Township; median sale price for homes is $170,000.
Residential reassessment notices hit mailboxes in Worth Township this week, and the news wasn’t pretty.

If so, check out the tough-talking Oak Lawn trustees, who can't help but rip each other apart while doing the public business. Today's "Good Read" also includes allegations of animal cruelty, marijuana by mail and problems with grandma's tax bill.
If you want to be savvy on the Southland, look no further than Patch to stay abreast of the highlights and low points in the news. Here are some of the week's top stories across the south suburbs. Survivor: Oak Lawn: Chris Medina may be winning the hearts of American Idol lovers, but we think Oak Lawn is ripe for some reality TV right now.

The Village Board and Finance Committee met Tuesday afternoon to discuss the proposed 2010 tax levy.
During a short meeting Tuesday with the Evergreen Park Village Board and Finance Committee, Village Treasurer John Sawyers proposed a tax increase that is expected to bring in $178,152 more than the previous year's levy.
