— For J.B. Pritzker, mansion’s disrepair has saved $230K in taxes – Tim Novak
http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/billionaire-illinois-governor-hopeful-jb-pritzker-let-mansion-fall-into-disrepair-saved-230000-on-taxes-on-uninhabitable-3-7-million-home-watchdogs-democrat/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: J.B. Pritzker, billionaire would-be governor, bought the historic mansion next door to his even bigger home on Chicago’s Gold Coast, let it fall into disrepair — and then argued it was “uninhabitable” to win what so far have been nearly $230,000 in property-tax breaks, records show. Pritzker, his wife and their two children live in a palatial, three-story home in the Gold Coast with more than 12,500 square feet of living space and a two-story coach house. They bought that for $14.5 million in May 2006 and spent an additional amount fixing it up — between $11 million and $25 million more, records show. Then, when the smaller mansion — designed in 1894 by the fabled architectural firm of Holabird & Root — went on sale, they bought that, too, paying $3.7 million. Retired banker Burton Gordon and his wife had lived in the 6,387-square-foot home for more than 40 years before selling it to the venture capitalist who’s now seeking the Democratic nomination for governor. Pritzker refurbished the outside of the Federal-style home, where the Gordons raised their family. But the inside has fallen into disrepair. The toilets have been disconnected, and the home has “no functioning bathrooms or kitchen,” according to documents Pritzker’s lawyers filed with the office of Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios. Arguing that the smaller mansion is “vacant and uninhabitable,” those lawyers convinced Berrios to slash its assessed value last year from $6.25 million to just under $1.1 million. That’s allowed Pritzker to get the nearly $230,000 in property-tax breaks and refunds, a Chicago Sun-Times analysis found. The drastically reduced assessment caused the mansion’s property taxes to plunge 83 percent, leaving Pritzker with a bill for $19,719 last year, the analysis found. That was instead of the $117,087 he otherwise would have had to pay in property taxes, which fund the Chicago Public Schools, the city and other local governments.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170504/hultgren-roskam-join-majority-in-obamacare-repeal-in-us-house
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Roskam was greeted by about three dozen protesters when he arrived early Thursday evening to a GOP fundraiser at Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton. Demonstrators carried Planned Parenthood posters and wore black veils because, they said, they were in mourning after the vote. “We’re going to keep showing up,” said Jax West, who lives in Lisle. “Anywhere that Roskam’s going, we’re going to be there.” Roskam dismissed concerns from health care organizations that people with cancer and other illnesses living in states that opt out of pre-existing condition rules would pay more for insurance or get priced out. “It’s uninformed to make that characterization,” he said. In “the plain language of the law … states can’t get a waiver until they have a plan to deal with pre-existing conditions.” Roskam said he saw amendments to the bill within the past couple of days that were “fairly short — just a matter of pages.” “Everybody likes to be welcomed with a parade and that kind of thing, but by the same token, everybody has the right to express their views, and that’s the nature of this process,” Roskam said of the protesters during a brief meeting with reporters in Wheaton.)

RAUNER ENCOURAGES PREJUDICE, LIMITS TO FREE SPEECH  (DIERSEN: Anti-Trumps run Illinois.  Those anti-Trumps will use Rauner’s letter to promote hatred of individuals, of organizations, of companies, of governments, and of countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/04/intolerant-illinois-gov-rauner-encourages-prejudice-limits-to-free-speech.html
(FROM THE ARTICE: Governor Rauner today released an open letter to school districts and higher learning institutions encouraging them to proactively prevent “acts of hate” as defined by the un-elected individuals who make up the left-wing, taxpayer-funded Department of Human Rights (IDHR). “Acts of bigotry and hate have no place in our society. All of us need to come together and take the necessary measures to ensure that our schools, colleges, and universities are safe and welcoming environments for students,” said Rauner. “Our administration stands strongly with educational institutions across Illinois as they expand opportunities to prevent these acts.” In addition to suggested preventative measures for educational institutions, the Rauner Administration is pledging that IDHR, in partnership with the State Board of Education, the Illinois Community College Board, and the State Board of Higher Education, will investigate any and all reports of discriminatory acts occurring in academic settings. Administration officials recommend that institutions establish and implement policies that address those actions, ideas and speech they consider hateful, and to promote equal opportunity. “Through an ongoing collaboration, we intend to continue engagement with educational leaders and stakeholders on how to promote welcoming (read: trigger warnings) and supportive learning spaces (read: safe spaces) throughout the state,” said Secretary of Education Beth Purvis.)
