Parking Ban Begins December 1 by Rey Colon: 35th Ward Alderman, Chicago - No other City in the world has a better snow fighting operation than the City of Chicago's Department of Streets and Sanitation.

Trick or Treat Tips by Rey Colon: 35th Ward Alderman, Chicago - Halloween is that great time of year when kids dress up in costumes and get free candy. But in the excitement of Halloween, we must remember to be careful. To ensure our children safely enjoy the experience, I offer some common sense reminders that go beyond; 'How to cross the street' or 'Not talking to strangers.'  :: 10/19/2012 7:43:53 PM ::

'Sí Se Puede! Yes We Can!' by Rey Colon: 35th Ward Alderman, Chicago - Cesar E. Chavez was born on March 31, 1927 in Yuma, Arizona and died at age 66 on April 23, 1993 in San Luis, Arizona. Chávez was a labor leader, civil rights activist and the American farm worker who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association which later became the United Farm Workers (UFW). Chavez championed the causes of poor, disenfranchised workers throughout the country and made the chant; 'Sí se puede! Yes We Can!' famous. In his day, Chávez was the Latino voice backed by the American labor movement. Chávez lead the farm workers' struggle in the same aggressive yet non-violent approach as Mohandas Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. which attracted national support. Chavez challenged discrimination and obstacles facing Latinos.

Pre-Registration for 2012 Assessment Complaints by Rey Colon: 35th Ward Alderman, Chicago - Please be advised that the Board of Review is now accepting pre-registration 2012 assessment complaints from individuals filing on their own property for any township that has not yet opened for review by the Board of Review for its 2012 session.

As of July 16 all homeowners in all townships may file their appeals online at www.cookcountyboardofreview.com, regardless if their township is open. The Board will hold the complaint until the township is open and the complaint will be reviewed along with other complaints from the township. To be clear, the filing of an appeal may reduce the assessed value of a property for a future tax bill and does not remove the obligation to pay the current Second Installment Property Tax Bill in full and on time.
