An Illinois county board member on Thursday suggested some residents 'downsize' if they can't afford property taxes.

“We’re talking about people who are fed up with paying property taxes. I’ve been paying property taxes for 12 years,” Will County Board member Natalie Coleman, D-Plainfield, said during a board meeting. “If there comes a point in time where I couldn’t afford that, I’m going to downsize, and that might be the option for some people.”
We keep talking about increasing people’s taxes, people are struggling to eat, people are struggling to go here and go there, and in four years that I’ve been on the county board, I have not had one person in my district complain about property taxes,” she claimed. “That’s what people ask. So, I’m just telling ya that even though you may not get a call – I don’t get calls for property taxes,” she said. “But certainly, everybody I talk to, if they know that I’m in government, if they know that I’m on the county board, the first thing they’re gonna ask me is about the property taxes.”
