  1. Maybe Morrison took all the toilets out of his residence, just like J.B. Pritzker?

    You can’t make this shi* up

  2. That evil leprechaun Mike Madigan had Mihalopoulos’ property tax bill “fixed”, if you know
    what I mean.

  3. His $715000 home in 2008 has a market value of about $450000 now.

    Everybody got gored in the real estate market collapse.

  4. Charles? That does nothing to explain why his tax bill is so insanely low compared to mine.

    My tax bill is almost equal to his yet my home is valued at less than a quarter of his.
