The Cook County State Attorney is seeking to block a $1 million tax refund that the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board ruled is owed to former President Trump on his Chicago skyscraper’s 2011 tax bill.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the office of Cook County State Attorney Kimberly Foxx filed a lawsuit this month with the Illinois Appellate Court against the refund, stating that the former president’s refund would take away taxpayer dollars from Chicago public schools and other agencies to pay for it.
Last month, the state property tax board voted 5-0 that the value of the Trump International Hotel & Tower had been overassessed, thus leaving Trump eligible for a refund totaling $1.03 million.
The tax breaks had been sought on behalf of Trump by the law firm Klafter & Burke, formerly run by Chicago city Alderman Edward M. Burke (D).
