    A.D. Q&A with Cook County Board of Review Commissioner Larry Rogers Jr.

    A.D. Q&A with Cook County Board of Review Commissioner Larry Rogers Jr.
    March in Cook County this year marks the official start of primary season and, for many, the due date for first installment property taxes. We talk both primary and property taxes with Larry Rogers Jr. In his private life, Rogers is a successful trial attorney at Power Rogers LLP. In public life, he’s a Democrat and the current longest-serving Commissioner on Cook County’s three-member Board of Review. That’s the second stop for property owners looking to appeal their assessments and hopefully knock down their tax bill. As of this recording, Rogers is free and clear to win another term – nobody’s running against him in the primary, nor have any Republicans filed who might take him on in the November general election. And that gives him a lot more space to voice his criticisms. And wow, does he. In this episode, Rogers lets loose on a long-simmering tension between his office and Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi. And he gets awfully close to endorsing Kaegi’s likely primary opponent, Kari Steele. He says Kaegi’s dropped the ball implementing a new computer system to help with assessments, that bills are likely to be months late this year and that, overall, Kaegi has fallen short of his promises to reverse spiraling values in the South suburbs in Rogers’ district. We spoke with Kaegi on this podcast back in December – please check that episode out for additional context and insights. We’ll also have Kaegi’s response to some of Rogers’ points on our website – that’s chicagobusiness.com/juice. On this episode, Rogers also addresses scandals at the Board of Review, including an FBI investigation involving alleged bribes for lower valuations, a report from the county’s inspector general warning about improper political influence, and why Rogers is okay taking donations from property tax attorneys.
