Lawyer at firm where Democrat worked receives property tax bill
An attorney for convicted fundraiser Tony Rezko is listed as the owner and taxpayer for Barack Obama's Chicago mansion, according to records obtained by WND.
William Miceli is a lawyer at the Chicago law firm Miner, Barnhill & Galland, which also formerly employed Obama.
The controversy began when a website called News and Commentary for Thinking People published a 48-page document that lists Miceli as the owner of the Obama home at 5046 S. Greenwood.
Miner, Barnhill & Galland was Obama's employer when he did extensive legal work for Rezko, who awaits sentencing after he was convicted in June of fraud, money laundering and bribery-related counts.

Nothing unusual here. Obomba ws too busy positioning himself to 'rule' America that he didn't have time to pay property taxes, or anything else for that matter.
He doesn't even have to pay for his Christmas holiday in Hawaii.
This could very well be a Trust. Not all that unusual. When my father died we had all my Mom’s assets set up under a Trust so she is pretty much insulated from any liabilities.
Look, it has NEVER been mentioned—in all the back and forth on the mansion—not a drop...makes one wonder why?
So who is paying the mortage, property taxes and insurance on this house?
Who paid the taxes? That is the issue.
“So who is paying the mortage, property taxes and insurance on this house?”
I have a feeling that the American Taxpayer is going to be paying for a lot of luxuries for this guy and ‘Aunt Esther’ when all is said and done.
They already seem to be The Clintons on steroids.
Let the raping of America continue!
(I thought I couldn’t loathe anyone more than Bill Clinton. 0bama is CHANGING all of that!)
The MSM will cover this up and we if possible find a way to blame Bush for this.
That’s some damaging investigation work, unfortunately no one will see it....WND should send the info to the National Enquirer - and I’m not joking one Iota. For some reason people will believe the National Enquirer now- re:John Edwards.
National Enquirer has pulled it’s punches where Obama is concerned. There appears to be some sort of allegiance...because Obama has a rich treasure trove of fodder that the Enquirer has conspicuously ignored.
Then wouldn't the Trust be listed as the owner?
Why “laughed at”?
This little fact seems pretty material....and before now-—unmentioned anywhere.
You protest too soon....why i wonder?
Sarah Palin's trash can more interesting news - or what?
Sarc off/We know of course, the 'what'. . .but now what? The same; or; will the half and non-wits, wake-up and doing something about the coffee. . .
this guy and ‘Aunt Esther’
Uncle Scam and Aunt Esther!
A trust in another person’s name is unusual when you own the home.
Normally, a mortgage holder pays the real estate taxes out of the escrow account. The mortgage payment includes an escrow payment to cover taxes and sometimes other expenses, anticipated over the next year, but annuitized into monthly payments and added to the mortgage payment.
People with money do not play by the same rules in the world of finance as we the little people. Lots of times people of means will form a trust and put their homes in their kids names, all for protecting assets and taxes. And it is really common to have your papers protected by and payments made by your attorney.
Not much different that a small business having an LLC.
Wouldn’t it be something to impeach Obama and watch the moonbats go crazy as we “evil Republicans” impeach a second one of theirs!
