County Assessor

County Assessor – James Houlihan wins, and not just because my grandma’s maiden name was Houlihan. (Though that doesn’t hurt, Jimmy!) Houlihan deals with the hated issue of property taxes, though most agree that he’s done a good job of creating a new easy to use website and reducing huge increases. He also aims to push for comprehensive reform of the property tax system. Ralph Conner is the former mayor of Maywood – have you ever been to Maywood? If he couldn’t clean up his village, he’s not going to clean up Cook. Again, no website from Ralph.
