Happy Tuesday, Chicago. Our “wrong coat” weather continues — for the uninitiated, that means the coat (or lack thereof) you start with is not going to be the right one to end the day. We’re going to see a drop of at least 30 degrees today, so be prepared.

The saying goes that two things are absolutely certain in life: death and taxes. We’d like to add: And March Madness. The Tribune Editorial Board has you covered. In its two pieces, the board dives into the joys of the Final Four, and it provides an educational, dumbed-down version of the Cook County treasurer’s report on the brutal state of our property taxes.

In commentary, foreign affairs columnist Daniel DePetris questions President Donald Trump’s assumptions about his gut instinct, two FairVote representatives make their case for ranked choice voting and the president of a safety net hospital says a moonshot idea to shrink Chicago’s hospital-centric infrastructure would do more harm than good.

Plus, we have letter writers who have some wide-ranging thoughts to share about Chicago and its goings-on, including a Chicagoan who admits she feels like kicking a delivery robot when she sees one.

As a vegetarian, I care about all creatures great and small. As for robots, I’m Switzerland.

See you tomorrow.
