Completely flawed study. It 'assumes' all townships have the same household income of $60,000, which we know is not the case. They should use actual median income for each township, then compute the tax burden of that township to come up with taxes as a percentage of income. Not well thought out.

Yeah, taxes are high. In fact this year they finally caught up to the amount I was paying in Westchester County NY in 1989.
