POLITICO ILLINOIS
— ANGRY IVES weighs in on toilet scandal – Shia Kapos
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2018/10/04/angry-ives-weighs-in-on-toilet-scandal-atty-gen-to-investigate-rauner-pugilism-in-govs-debate-321268
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Hold everything. Jeanne Ives just weighed in on the governor’s race and boy is she mad. The state rep who lost to Gov. Bruce Rauner in a bitter GOP primary wants the Illinois Department of Revenue to investigate how Democrat J.B. Pritzker got a tax break by pulling toilets out of his second home, thus lowering the property value. Is this a gift to Rauner? Nope. Ives hasn’t even talked to the governor. “This is my hot-button issue,” Ives told POLITICO. “It sticks in my craw big-time. Who does that? M.K. grew up in South Dakota, the same state I did,” Ives said, referring to Pritzker’s wife. “No one does this. I don’t know where she learned these kinds of shenanigans. But normal people don’t do it. I’m angry. You don’t cheat this way. If the damned Democrats don’t prosecute this, then why would anyone stay in this state just to be treated unfairly by the political ruling class.” Hiding property wealth, says Ives, just shortchanges schools and leaves taxpayers holding the bag. Pritzker has maintained the toilets were pulled as part of a renovation project, but Ives doesn’t buy it. She’s been studying property-tax fairness for years—even talked to Rauner about legislation address how property values are assessed in Illinois. “He never took it up.” The conservative darling’s re-entry into the political fray could help advance Rauner’s case. But Rauner also has his own investigation to worry about. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan called for a criminal probe into Rauner’s handling of the deadly Legionnaires’ disease outbreak at the Quincy veterans’ home. “We are investigating whether any laws were violated in the response to the risks of an outbreak of Legionella at the Quincy veterans’ home, where many people died,” Madigan spokeswoman Maura Possley said in a statement.)

— Rauner calls Pritzker ‘trust fund baby’ at governor debate – TAHMAN BRADLEY (DIERSEN: What do your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes call you? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always called me undeservedly filthy rich. It all started in 1966 when I was 17 years old and bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint. They would not have demonized me, denigrated me, or condemned me as being rich if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

— Controversy surrounds highest paid Illinois school superintendent Troy Paraday – Dane Placko (DIERSEN: Does controversy surround you? Are/were you accused of being overpaid? My GAO salary in 1997 was $125,325 in today’s dollars. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is $51,864. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always accused me of being overpaid. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/controversy-surrounds-highest-paid-illinois-school-superintendent
(FROM THE ARTICLE: They say money’s tight at the small district, comprised of three schools and 1,100 students. Except for Superintendent Paraday, who this year will earn a salary of $309,000. But that’s not all. Paraday’s contract also calls for a car allowance, insurance benefits, retirement annuity and other goodies driving up his annual compensation to $407,000 — the highest of any Illinois school superintendent. And that’s not all. When Paraday retires on October 31st, Calumet City taxpayers will be handing him a big Halloween treat. “Open the Books” and FOX 32 found a clause in Paraday’s contract that allows him to collect cash for unused time off. Since 2005, he’s accumulated 567 days of unused vacation, sick time and personal days. Based on Paraday’s current salary, he’ll cash those days in for more than $762,000.)

If Rauner wins or loses, the Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs who dominate the IRP will a) dump Trump supporters, b) dump the aforesaid planks in the IRP platform, c) banish Republicans from the IRP once and for all, and d) abolish the IRP.)
