Prior to becoming governor, it came out that he'd had all the toilets pulled out of one of his mansions (during a rehab) before having the tax assessment done. The house was deemed "uninhabitable" and the taxes were lowered around $350K (paid after it was caught). After the assessment, at least one of the toilets were replaced so they could live there. It's being re-investigated now, due to things going on with Speaker of the Illinois House Mike Madigan. And there's more stuff like this coming out of the woodwork - https://www.wbez.org/stories/gov-pritzker-defends-appointee-with-family-ties-to-key-figure-in-comed-scandal/e951611f-dce9-4d1a-975c-f6d477a21221 Edited August 8, 2020 by tsar4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gov. was told he could only have a 30 day extension, then he'd have to get the Legislature involved. He has since extended it beyond the 30 days without involving the Legislature.

The fact he needs to stoop to issuing a contempt summons is proof his order has little actual force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority are beholden to Speaker Madigan, who really calls (called?) the shots. You crossed Madigan, even if you were a Dem., you'd find yourself gerrymandered out of your district. He's currently suspected of being "Public Official A" in a Fed Investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when (if) madigan goes to prison, he'll just be the next in a long line of IL heads to roll directly from their executive office into an 8x8. And someone else will pick up the torch. Rinse.

Actually, the real morons are in Crook County. At one time, they hit upon the brilliant idea of selling all the fecal material from the Chicago waste processing facilities to the farmers downstate (C-SELM).

That was a rhetorical question. At any rate, it was a GOP publicity stunt at a time when the governor is using his powers to actually help individuals.

A name his constituents in Kankakee gave him. The last real GOP Governor was Jim Edgar. I don't consider Blago a Dem or GOP, he was all about "what's in it for me?". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
