Charges withdrawn against the Cole bomber guy. (without prejudice, so charges can be reinstated. Will they ever be?)

can't vouch for the following, it's Liz's research. Rahm Emanuel apparently lives tax free in a magnificent Chicago mansion owned by "The Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Foundation." According to the Cook County Assessors website, the Chicago home of four-term Democrat Congressman and new White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, doesnt exist. While the address of 4228 North Hermitage is listed as Emanuels residence on the Illinois State Board of Elections website, there seems to be no public record of Emanuel ever paying property taxes on this home
Why would 4228 North Hermitage property owners Rahm Emanuel and wife Amy Rule not pay property taxes? Because Emanuel and Rule declared their 4228 North Hermitage home as the "office" for their tax-exempt non-profit foundation called the Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Foundation. As a non-profit "office," they apparently consider their home exempt from taxes. out damned spot posted on 2009-02-06 06:25:12 ET Reply Trace
