The League of Women Voters of Roselle-Bloomingdale Area invites the public to a free Zoom webinar from 7:00–8:00 PM on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, titled "Behind YOUR Property Tax Bill: What's driving the increases?"

Featured speakers include David Merriman, Professor of Public Policy at the University of Illinois, Chicago, and John T. Dabrowski, Bloomingdale Township Assessor. This informative, nonpartisan panel will address property tax affordability, equity, and reform.

  • Causes of rising property taxes
  • Assessment practices and current exemptions
  • Practical tools for taxpayers
  • Ideas for long-term reform and fairness

This nonpartisan webinar is ideal for homeowners, local leaders, and concerned citizens. A video recording will be made available after the live session and posted on www.lwvrb.org. Advance registration is required at  Webinar Registration - Zoom
