J.B. Pritzker's toilet scandal may come back to bite him on his gargantuan butt

Democrat Governor J.B. Pritzker (IL) has hinted at wobbling for the 2024 presidential election if Biden is still claiming to run [run Joe, please run]. 

The big guy has said it many times on tv and online that he is running for re-election as the filed governor of the "land of Lincoln." However, since nobody can be worse than Joe and his giggling word salad server, Kamala Hahaharris, as the nation does a death spiral into recession, Pritzker may believe that he can fail less worse than the idiots running the Democratic mental institution.

Democratic governors have seen that both Pritzker and California's failed Governor Gavin "Jellhead" Newsom are positioning themselves for a potential run in 2024, as Biden has deteriorated like an 80-year-old McNugget.

But if the corpulent Pritzker decides to challenge or replace what's his name, you know, the thing, Pritzker's toilet problem may come back to bite him on the, uh, you know, the thing again.

Before the big bad billionaire became governor of Illinois, he and his beautiful wife, M.K. Pritzker, allegedly removed the toilets from their second Chicago mansion they bought in 2007 for $3.7 million to write it off as "uninhabitable" on a property tax appeal. [Imagine what those toilets had seen in their hay day.]

Cook County only taxes vacant properties at 10 percent of their market value. The property was reported by the Chicago Sun-Times as being uninhabited and allowed to fall into disrepair. 

A 2018 report from Cook County Inspector General Patrick Blanchard explains how in 2015, the Pritzkers hired a contracting company Bulley & Andrews to remove five of the toilets from their second mansion in order to allegedly take advantage of a super low tax rate for uninhabitable properties. [Fun Fact: Sometime Hunter Biden doesn't use a toilet.]

As a result of the mansion’s crappers being lightened before the inspection, the Cook County assessor’s office "lowered the 6,378-square-foot mansion's assessed value from $6.3 million to about $1.1 million."

Pritzker was here

So not only is Pritzker a rich fat cat who is very much of both, he is also a fraudulent conniver who actually needs 5 toilets at all times.

Following the assessment, Bulley & Andrews was hired again to reinstall a single toilet in the now-governor’s "hangout/meeting area."

Blanchard wrote that the couple had engaged in a "scheme to defraud" the county that "resulted in the property owner ultimately receiving property tax refunds totaling $132,747.18 for the years 2012, 2013 and 2014, as well as additional tax savings of $198,684.85 for the years 2015 and 2016" — or around $330,000 total.

Additionally, Blanchard accused the governor’s brother-in-law and wife’s personal assistant of making "false representations" to the county assessor regarding the toilets’ removal and the mansion’s condition in sworn affidavits.

The scandal screwed up Pritzker's run for governor in 2018, and he pledged to pay back the $330,000 in property taxes and hoped the voters had 'Biden memories'.

Even with the controversy, Pritzker’s toilet troubles did not hinder him from unseating Republican former Gov. Bruce Rauner in 2018, except the seat had to be made several feet wider.
