CAP slams Cullerton for deliberate underassessment of race track land
The Citizens Action program accuses Cook County Assessor P. J. Cullerton of intentionally undervaluing five race tracks. CAP says this caused a loss of about 342 million dollars in tax revenue for schools and taxing bodies. Details cite minimal assessed values for Arlington Park, Hawthorne, and related improvements, urging State's Attorney Hanrahan to investigate.
