improperly received more than $300,000 in property tax breaks in a “scheme
to defraud” taxpayers, according to a new watchdog report.
Cook County Inspector General Patrick Blanchard found Pritzker was able to
receive more than $331,000 in property tax breaks on a mansion he owns in
Chicago as “part of a scheme for obtaining money by means of false
representations.”
The county, Blanchard said, “ultimately fell victim to a scheme to defraud.”
The inspector general’s report included an email from a project manager who
said M.K. Muenster Pritzker, his wife, requested workers remove all toilets
from the house in order for it to be considered an “uninhabitable
structure” in 2015. Then, after the house was to be reassessed, a toilet
was to be put back in on the first floor, according to the email’s
instructions. |
