Every assessment reduction by the Cook County Board of Review for a big business means higher taxes for average homeowners, small businesses and tenants struggling to get by, David Orr writes in an op-ed. chicagotribune.com/opinion/commen…

This morning, alongside supporters and @RobinLynneKelly , @ChuyForCongress, @Marie4Congress , @5thWardChicago, @rodriguezfor22, @BrandonCCD1, @godonnagoIL, and @ClerkDavidOrr, I launched my campaign for re-election!
This is shaping up to be a potentially major mess for vote-counting in suburban Cook County, courtesy of County Clerk Karen Yarbrough's office. BTW Yarbrough is vice chair of the Democratic Party of Illinois. The DPI chair is Mike Madigan chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2020/…
Former county Clerk David Orr (@ClerkDavidOrr): the merger “was always about reducing redundant senior management positions and never intended to eliminate the necessary jobs of the front line workers serving the people of Cook County.” thedailyline.net/chicago/10/22/…
Commentary: A graduated income tax will draw future business leaders to Illinois chicagotribune.com/opinion/commen…
Mayor Harold Washington pictured with Lane Kirkland, President of the AFL-CIO, during the Labor Day Parade September 1, 1986. During Washington's speech, he said that "a strong Chicago requires a vigorous labor movement. A strong labor movement requires a vigorous Chicago."
It's been one month since Speaker Madigan was implicated in a bribery scheme involving ComEd. Since then, 7 IL House Democrats, 3 Senate Democrats, & other officials have called for him to resign. @JBPritzker said the Speaker "has an enormous amount to answer for." Has he?
Remembering the time Governor Big Jim Thompson pitched to me at Wrigley field in the mid 80's. Chicago alderman v. State leaders. They won because they had Jessie White.
"if we have a system that depends on appeals and who works the system best? People with money, people with power, people who have the most access. They whittle down their share when it comes to the expense of everyone else." - Assessor Fritz Kaegi austinweeklynews.com/News/Articles/…
Rep. Gong-Gershowitz, who has received $247,000 in past campaign support from Speaker Madigan, has called for his resignation. She is the 7th House Democrat and the 10th Democratic state legislator to call on him to resign his speakership. chicago.suntimes.com/2020/8/11/2136… #twill
I’ve known Senator @KamalaHarris for a long time. She is more than prepared for the job. She’s spent her career defending our Constitution and fighting for folks who need a fair shake. This is a good day for our country. Now let’s go win this thing.
From @BarackObama Biden "nailed this decision... Reality shows us that these attributes are not optional in a president. They’re requirements of the job. And now Joe has an ideal partner to help him tackle the very real challenges America faces right now & in the years ahead."

“I was very concerned as I found out more about this board of ethics that had a great reputation, and then two top people basically get canned, and a third person quits... Delay after delay and now it’s August. You can’t blame this all on the virus.” thedailyline.net/chicago/08/10/…

Happening now: @JulietSorensen1 explains how former Cook County Assessor Joe Berrios had violated campaign finance rules by taking large donations from people who had business with his office. Instead of returning the money, Berrios sued the County, costing taxpayers. #ethics

This morning, alongside supporters and @RobinLynneKelly , @ChuyForCongress, @Marie4Congress , @5thWardChicago, @rodriguezfor22, @BrandonCCD1, @godonnagoIL, and @ClerkDavidOrr, I launched my campaign for re-election!
This is shaping up to be a potentially major mess for vote-counting in suburban Cook County, courtesy of County Clerk Karen Yarbrough's office. BTW Yarbrough is vice chair of the Democratic Party of Illinois. The DPI chair is Mike Madigan chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2020/…
Our union is committed to continuing to hold the nursing home industry accountable when they put profit over patients. Check out this piece from @InaJaffeNPR featured on @MorningEdition. npr.org/2020/10/22/918… #ProtectAllWorkers @SEIU
Former county Clerk David Orr (@ClerkDavidOrr): the merger “was always about reducing redundant senior management positions and never intended to eliminate the necessary jobs of the front line workers serving the people of Cook County.” thedailyline.net/chicago/10/22/…
The @cookcountyclerk is facing heat from @SEIU73 for potential job losses incurred by its planned merger with the Cook County Recorder of Deeds office. Read more: bit.ly/3dMOvay Via @AlexNitkin 📌 @CookRecorder | @BrandonCCD1 | @ClerkDavidOrr
@JeffO773 @BatWhalen @ClerkDavidOrr David Orr is one of Chicago's finest political leaders ever....our city needs to acknowledge that more...
@JeffO773 @ClerkDavidOrr My former alderman, met him a few times volunteering for Washington’s 1st mayoral campaign. What a class act, glad he’s enjoying retirement!
A property tax hike is "at the very bottom of the list of options” to close the projected $1.2 billion budget gap, Mayor Lightfoot told WTTW News. Watch the full interview ⤵️ to.wttw.com/3lAlWks
More of this please! Well done, @NBA.
BREAKING: The NBA just announced that all basketball arenas will he turned into 2020 voting locations. Ample space for large amounts of people to vote safely.
@ClerkDavidOrr His biggest legacy is that albatross at the corner of 35th & Shields. The architects they used were a joke.
It's been one month since Speaker Madigan was implicated in a bribery scheme involving ComEd. Since then, 7 IL House Democrats, 3 Senate Democrats, & other officials have called for him to resign. @JBPritzker said the Speaker "has an enormous amount to answer for." Has he?
Rep. Gong-Gershowitz, who has received $247,000 in past campaign support from Speaker Madigan, has called for his resignation. She is the 7th House Democrat and the 10th Democratic state legislator to call on him to resign his speakership. chicago.suntimes.com/2020/8/11/2136… #twill
I’ve known Senator @KamalaHarris for a long time. She is more than prepared for the job. She’s spent her career defending our Constitution and fighting for folks who need a fair shake. This is a good day for our country. Now let’s go win this thing.
.@KamalaHarris will be a great partner to @JoeBiden in making our government a powerful force for good in the fight for social, racial, and economic justice.
From @BarackObama Biden "nailed this decision... Reality shows us that these attributes are not optional in a president. They’re requirements of the job. And now Joe has an ideal partner to help him tackle the very real challenges America faces right now & in the years ahead."
JUST IN: Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden announced on Tuesday he picked Kamala Harris to be his running mate. bit.ly/3aiYdja
Illinois politicos are missing the #BudBilliken Parade, which would have been today. It's always a big day for spotting political candidates and elected officials.
I watched the #ABC7Chicago Bud Billiken special yesterday & was bawling crying, especially on the family segment. I have so many fond memories of attending w/family & friends through the years.....
