Newly-Formed Vote Yes on the Con-Con Coalition Committee Reports $100,000

How a committee can be filed with no officers, I don’t know, but that’s what the State Board of Elections web site says about the Vote Yes on the Con-Con Coalition.

Maybe it’s because the organization papers were filed on paper, while the D-2 form reporting campaign contributions was filed electronically. In any event, it is an attempt to keep secret, if just for a little while, who is behind this political action committee.

It is also listed on the web site as having no interest in any proposition.

Here’s who gave the $100,000:

  • $50,000 – Citizens for Fair Assessment & Taxes, 446 N Wells, #265, Chicago, IL 60610
  • $5,000 – Andre Howard, Property Manager, PO Box 20055, Chicago, IL 60620 $
  • $25,000 – Andrea Raila, Owner, Raila & Associates 742 N LaSalle, Suite 300, Chicago, IL 60654
  • $20,000 – Mike Rohrbeck, Director of Operations, Raila & Associates 676 N LaSalle, Suite 401, Chicago, IL 60654

All the money was donated on October 4th.

The Citizens for Fair Assessment & Taxes is not registered with the State Board of Elections as a political action committee, according to a web site search.

In years past Raila has contributed to now-Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, who favors a constitutional convention.

State Rep. Jack Franks has another PAC supporting Con-Con, but it has virtually no money.
