CHICAGO—Cook County Democrat Chairman Joe Berrios released a statement today praising his own efforts in pushing through a bill that will expand video gambling. In the mean time, Cook County property taxpayers continue to see no results on property tax reform.
“Instead of lobbying for legislation that will give Cook County residents and small businesses an honest, affordable and understandable property tax system, Joe Berrios is bragging about his success as a lobbyist for the gambling industry. While property tax owners continue to struggle, Commissioner Berrios seems more interested in working as a lobbyist than as a taxpayer advocate,” said Cook County Republican Party Chairman Lee Roupas.
