Perhaps. Depends on the tax base and how large the services need to be. If you have a tax base without a lot of industrial/commercial in it, yes probably a bigger tax increase. If you have a lot then maybe not. I agree it won't happen because the county you are leaving has to put it on the ballot and a majority of residents in the entire county have to OK it. I grumble about Cook Co. politics and waste/fraud, BUT i pay lower taxes than I probably would in any of the other surrounding counties for a home of similar size and value with similar schools.
