Illinois House speaker makes his money lowering property taxes
By Dave McKinney Chicago (Reuters) - As Illinois House speaker for more than three decades, Michael Madigan has often worked to raise people’s taxes. Madigan & Getzendanner is one of Illinois’ leading law firms for clients filing appeals to contest their property appraisals in an effort to reduce their real-estate taxes. Between 2004 and 2015, the speaker’s firm won $63.3 million in refunds for clients, according to a Reuters analysis of data from the Cook County treasurer’s office.
