New 2025-2026 data just dropped: 56% of Illinois school districts are double-dipping taxpayers by using your property taxes to cover the full 9% to 10.4% pension contribution that teachers are legally required to pay themselves.

Chicago homeowners are getting slammed with yet another brutal property tax increase as this spreads.

Teachers take home their full salary untouched, while you cover the share they owe.

Your taxes now fund both their paycheck and their pension.

Teachers get the free ride.

You get screwed twice.
