Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, along with his wife and brother-in-law, reportedly is under federal criminal investigation for a questionable property tax appeal that has hung over him since last year's gubernatorial race.
Pritzker - a Democrat who took office earlier this year - has been the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation since last October, although no criminal charges have been brought against him, a law enforcement source told Chicago radio station WBEZ. The investigation centers around a property tax break the billionaire Pritzker and his wife sought for a 126-year-old mansion the two purchased. According to a Cook County inspector general's report, which was first discovered by the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper, Illinois First Lady MK Pritzker ordered workers at the mansion to remove all the toilets in the residence so it could be declared "uninhabitable" - giving the couple a large tax break. The report also said that the governor's brother-in-law, Thomas J. Muenster, and the first lady's personal assistant, Christine Lovely, made false representations on tax appeal documents. The scheme apparently cost taxpayers more than $331,000, according to the IG report. The reports of the investigation into Pritzker, who just celebrated his 100th day in office, were quickly flagged by political rivals, who called him out for seeking tax breaks while he has proposed raising taxes. "An Illinois governor under federal criminal investigation 101 days into office must be a new record - even for Illinois," Illinois Republican Party Chairman Tim Schneider said in a statement. "We already knew Pritzker was a serial tax dodger. He stashes millions offshore in zero-tax Bahamas bank accounts and took the toilets out of his Chicago mansion to dodge over $330,000 in property taxes." Schneider added: "The Cook County Independent Inspector General called it 'a scheme to defraud' taxpayers. Yet Pritzker continues to push tax hikes on Illinois families and businesses - absurd hypocrisy from Pritzker." ------------------------- Romans 8;18-32 John 3;16-18 |

He probably wont release his tax returns. They are off limits.

Another Ill. common practice is to move away from that prog-run hellhole. One must wonder why, if prog policies are so great, progs ruin their country, state or city and people flee en masse.
