Nod Posted March 16, 2018 at 04:05 PM Share Posted March 16, 2018 at 04:05 PM Anybody else believe that the Dem machine didn't have one of their ' paid for' judges put Raila back on the Assessor's ballot to divide the vote for Berrios ? The timing is very disturbing. "Goodbye Joe, you gotta go Berrios" has no chance of getting re-elected if she's not on the ballot. Once again the voters are cheated out of a fair election.

Jeffrey Posted March 16, 2018 at 04:08 PM Share Posted March 16, 2018 at 04:08 PM Why does Barrios' ad's on TV tell his view on the 2A? What does the assessor have to do with the 2A? Get rid of the loser already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoresident Posted March 16, 2018 at 04:18 PM Share Posted March 16, 2018 at 04:18 PM Barrios is the moneyman of the Democratic machine. Tax breaks are how they pay patronage and its orchestrated by Madigan and Burkes tax appeal law firms and Barrios's stamp of approval. And it gets ignored by the AG and SA because they are very publicly in on it too. He keeps getting very publicly investigated so they probably do need to handpick a successor so they dont lose their checkbook. To the machine the assessor is one of their most important candidates. It's like the mafia, as soon as one member makes trouble for the organization they get taken out. And they're really feeling the heat on this hustle especially with Lisa Madigan running away.

G214me Posted March 16, 2018 at 06:33 PM Share Posted March 16, 2018 at 06:33 PM This whole thing is so dirty and corrupt I'm never surprised by any of the stunts anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoresident Posted March 16, 2018 at 08:05 PM Share Posted March 16, 2018 at 08:05 PM According to this it was Madigan keeping her off the ballot.https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2018/2/8/1739911/-Progressive-Candidates-Face-Harassment-from-Democrats-and-Madigan-Machine But Madigan also has a history of diluting the vote in contested races, so who knows, other then Berrios which of the two others may also be a Madigan proxy.
