“More scrutiny for embattled Cook County Assessor Joe Berrios.
A government watchdog group is calling for oversight of Berrios and the way his office assesses property values. This comes as Berrios faces a lawsuit and condemnation by many public officials in his own party after recent investigations have revealed problems with how properties are assessed.
On top of that, the Cook County inspector general says he will be weighing in on this process in the near future as well. Remember, Berrios had long ignored that office, saying it had no oversight over his office, but a state supreme court ruling said otherwise. Now the inspector general says he will have a statement on the assessment process. This comes as the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform calls on Cook County to establish an oversight board to watch over Berrios and how he assesses the million-plus parcels of property in Cook County to determine how much they pay in property tax.”
