WATCH: J.B. Pritzker AGAIN Dodges on Releasing His Tax Returns
208 days since Pritzker first pledged to make his tax returns public

“While his sister was just caught parking assets offshore, J.B. Pritzker continues to hide his tax returns from the public. We already know he schemed with crooked Democrat insiders to slash the property tax bill on his Chicago mansion by over $230,000. It’s time for him to come clean.” - Illinois Republican Party Spokesman Aaron DeGroot

After receiving the endorsement from yet another career politician who’s loyal to Madigan, J.B. Pritzker was again asked when he will be releasing his tax returns.

Watch Pritzker continue to dodge on releasing his tax returns HERE.

Pritzker’s response? “It’s somewhat complex… We’re working on it… We’ll get it done soon.”

That’s the same response Pritzker gave nearly a month ago around when tax returns were due to the federal government.

208 days have passed since J.B. Pritzker first pledged to release his taxes returns.

Other Democrats have already challenged Pritzker on his obfuscation, and Illinois voters are demanding to see what Pritzker is hiding.

We already know that Pritzker has gamed the system to receive a $230,000 tax break on his Chicago mansion thanks to the help of his fellow crooked Democrat insider Joe Berrios.

What is J.B. Pritzker hiding?

Well, J.B., we’re waiting…

Musical interlude with John Brillhart

Wednesday, Nov 8, 2017 - Posted by Rich Miller

* My friend John Brillhart passed away this week…

A Springfield musician was killed in a one-vehicle crash on Interstate 55 in Bloomington Monday night, authorities said.

John M. Brillhart, 44, was the lone occupant of the sport-utility vehicle involved in the wreck, McLean County Coroner Kathy Davis said Tuesday afternoon. […]

Mike Naylor, an owner’s of Abe’s Old Hat Antiques and Country Store, 111 N. Sixth St., said Brillhart played at several of his open mike nights. Brillhart hosted last week’s event at Abe’s, and his name was still on a sign Tuesday that advertised the event.

“I haven’t erased it. I’m so glad I didn’t. I’m looking at it right now. It says, ’Open pick tonight. Host John Brillhart,” Naylor said.

Naylor said Brillhart was a great guy who was well-liked.

“He was a good performer, a good songwriter and a good friend to everyone,” Naylor said. “I never heard him ever say a harsh word about anyone. He was always jovial.”

John was a good friend to everyone, and he was more than just a talented local musician and songwriter. He was one of the most active supporters of the Springfield music scene in this town. He was pretty much everywhere you could find decent music. The last time I saw him was Friday night during Larry Stevens’ gig at George Rank’s. John left early to go see another show downtown, mainly to make sure that people were in the audience to support the musicians. He was that kind of guy. Sweet, humble, accessible to all and not an enemy in the world.

John’s friends, and he had so many, threw a heck of a party for him last night at Rank’s. He did an open mic there every Tuesday and last night the place was jam packed with people. We cried and laughed and danced and hugged each other. He would’ve loved it.
