I am familiar with Dan Patlak's record on behalf of the residents of Cook County during his first term at the Board of Review.   And as the sponsor of assessment reform laws creating more appeal rights for Cook County property taxpayers, I am keenly aware of how critical it is to open up and streamline the assessment appeal process in favor of average taxpayers.  Dan agrees and he has been a true taxpayer champion - I enthusiastically endorse his re-election.
