Based on what we're seeing this morning online, voters across Illinois are asking the same question: "Has Mike Frerichs paid his property taxes yet?"
Seems like a simple question that has a reasonable answer: "Since he's running for Illinois State Treasurer, he better have paid them on time."
But...unfortunately, that's not the case.
In fact, he hasn't paid them since 2008. He's been getting notices in the mail that he has flatly refused to comply. He must think he's above the law. Paying property taxes is for 'everybody else', but not Mike. He's elite! Gosh...he even took the time out of his day to wish President Barack Obama - his good buddy - a happy birthday last week!
But pay his property taxes on time? No way. In that same time, he's had plenty of time to RAISE your taxes, though. Don't worry about that part.
So...we've made it easy for you.

Here's a peek at the site that includes a count-up timer. As of this post, it has been 2414 days, 12 hours, and 18 minutes since he last paid. We, normal folks (who vote, btw) only get a few months.
