Recent Ray Hanania columns you may have missed on Madoff, Kaegi and targeting criminals

How is it that members of Congress can far exceed the profit performance of the stock market when it comes to  their own investments?

Why did Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi artificially increase the assessments of suburban homes, thereby dramatically increasing the property taxes on those homes as much as 40 percent to 120 percent on many homes, while reducing the burden on businesses?

Why did a suburban School District blame the victims and their mother of the criminal conduct of a sexual predator who was a teacher at the school favored by the administration? 

Each week, award-winning columnist and former Chicago City Hall reporter Ray Hanania tackles these tough questions in his columns that are published on his website at https://Hanania.com.
