The City of Chicago 2012 Budget proposes to eliminate the Refuse Rebate program for condominium associations. This means a loss of much needed funds for small associations across Chicago.
You can sign a petition to ask the mayor to preserve the Refuse Rebate. Please make your voice heard by signing the petition online: http://www.change.org/petitions/mayor-city-of-chicago-eliminate-the-condo-refuse-rebate-portion-of-your-2012-budget-proposal.
Associations have until 12/31/11 to file 2010 Refuse Rebates. This could be the last chance to receive your Rebate, so be sure to file on time!
