Fritz Kaegi took over an office that was literally legendary for being opaque, outdated, and at times, downright hostile to the constituents its meant to serve: the Cook County Assessor's Office. At the time of his election in 2018, the office was under federal monitoring and politically-connected downtown landlords seemed to be running roughshod over homeowners. This in episode, Fritz - fresh off relection to his second term - takes us behind the scenes to talk about how he found the technology, talent, and tenacity to reform a massive, inert bureaucracy. Along the way, we learn why a transaparent, ethical property tax system matters to Chicagoland's future.
