SPEAKER Allen G. Scott Huntley IL stated that tomorrow he has the pleasure of protesting his property tax assessment. He has gone over the Board of Review process and did have initial questions with the Board of Review, familiarity with the Township Assessor s and his concern was a positive outlook toward those Assessor s and after watching them and the professional shown from the Board of Review has assuaged his concerns in that regard. However the concern with making a protest and not allowing the property owner to have a non-lawyer spoke person represent the property owner. He is not sure if this is an Illinois or state requirement or Kane County. He said it sounds like the Mike Madigan enrichment process. He would like the Board to consider going ahead and revising some of the Board of Review procedures and regulations in order to allow a representative who is not the property owner to represent that person. I know many people who would protest accept he said they do not do well especially women in a situation where they are arguing with someone. So it is equalizing the process out and asked the Board to consider that. What he ascertains from Kane County is that if you want to see a reduction in your taxes you have to go to the different taxing bodies and he has a calendar of the nine taxing bodies that he has to go too. He said it is an arduous process and to keep in mind that it takes a lot of 672
