Da Mare to Fung -- I got your bailout right here
The fix isn’t in for beleaguered Cook County homeowners struggling to pay rising property tax bills. But it might as well be.
Mayor Daley today urged homeowners to appeal their "illogical" assessments to the Cook County Board of Review — and commissioner Larry Rogers Jr. all but guaranteed those who do that adjustments will be made to reflect the downturn in the housing market.

Cook County: the system works
County’s new lobbyist throwing fundraiser for Stroger
(Crain’s) — Just months after receiving a pair of six-figure, no-bid contracts, Cook County’s new Washington, D.C., lobbyist is hosting a fundraiser for the official who awarded him that work: County Board President Todd Stroger.
Lobbyist Richard Boykin is holding the fundraiser for Mr. Stroger on Thursday evening at the Loop offices of Mr. Boykin’s law firm, Barnes & Thornburg LLP. Invitations for the event request donations of $250 to as much as $2,500...
Mr. Boykin says there is "no connection" between the contracts and the upcoming fundraiser, which will pull in a reported $30,000 or so for Mr. Stroger’s political campaign fund.
Mr. Stroger’s spokesman says only that Mr. Boykin "can throw a fundraiser for whoever he wants..."
Crain’s first asked Mr. Stroger’s office for comment on this matter Tuesday afternoon. By mid-afternoon Wednesday, the president’s spokesman said he had not yet been able to reach the appropriate county officials to confirm that Messrs. Boykin and Burkhardt had been granted a second contract.
The spokesman added that he was aware of Thursday’s fundraiser but was not prepared to further discuss the matter.
