This same Chicago tax assessor that finagled Rahm's taxes, once carried the home of amnesty whore Cong Luis Guiterrez (D-Ill) (a former cab driver) on the tax rolls as a "vacant lot" and argued---- after the story became public----that Guiterrez should not be penalized for a "clerical error" ....
This came after Guiterrez paid minimal taxes for years and years...... b/c Guiterrez' home was listed as a vacant lot.
"Rahm Emanuel’s house being tax exempt is wholly inaccurate. Rep. Emanuel’s house in on the tax rolls, and he and his wife, Ms. Rule, have paid the taxes on it. The Emanuel house sits on two lots. For tax purposes, the property is listed as 4232 N. Hermitage Ave. The PIN is 14-18-408-035-0000. As you can see, 4232 N. Hermitage came up as one of the addresses when you searched Emanuel’s block on our web site. 4228 N. Hermitage is listed as the mailing address on the tax records-----it is not at all uncommon for addresses to be merged for properties on two lots. According to the Cook County Treasurer’s web site, Emanuel and his wife paid $13,022.60 in property taxes this year."
Sincerely, Eric W. Herman, Director of Communications, Cook County Assessor's Office
=================================
KEEP IN MIND The Chicago county assessor is a high- ranking Democrat Party operative, who would move hell and high water to protect Chi Dems----he might even get a federal no-show job for his trouble.
=================================
Rahm has two lots and pays the freight on a single bill and gets a tax break loophole that most of us would never be allowed and now the assessor tells us to be happy that multi-millionaire and Freddie Mac swiller Rahm Emanuel pays anything.
City and county Chicago governments are run by corrupt Dem machines for years, it's hardly surprising that Emmanuel managed to pull off his "charitable organization" stunt successfully....then got a "clarification."

What illegalities would be unearthed if "The Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Trust" had its official filings audited?

================================
REFERENCE The "Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Trust" was formed in 2002, when Rahm was first elected to Congress. The IRS has reported that tax-exempt “foundations and charities” are the locus classicus for tax evasion and money laundering. There are zillions of ways to money launder and evade taxes within a foundation. Phony line items, phantom employees on the payroll, tax-exempt foundation writing checks to another tax-exempt foundation (money laundered then kickbacked).
January 2007, USA Today reported The Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Trust was formed in 2002, when he was first elected. Rahm and his wife, Amy Rule, are its only donors.
The trust reported having $2,900 on hand at the end of 2005 after receiving $34,000 from Emanuel and donating more than $31,000
During the past three years, Emanuel’s charity gave nearly $25,000 to the Anshe Emet synagogue and school [a private school that the Rahm/Rule children attend], and $15,000 to the foundation run by former president Bill Clinton (kickbacks, anyone?).
Rahm's foundation also gave $14,000 to Marwen, a Chicago "charity" that provides art classes and other educational help to low-income children. Ms Rule is on Marwen’s board.
WRAPUP Rahm doesn’t pay any property taxes and he gets income tax write-offs----donating $25000 to his Synagogue. This allows his kids to attend school tuition-free and allows him to expense a lot of personal expenses. Rahm also "donates" to his Foundation and his wife apparently draws a salary from the foundation.
