Must be Election Season
And the Machine has begun a low-intensity campaign to thin out the field:
The chief executive of a major Cook County contractor alleged longtime county Treasurer Maria Pappas repeatedly subjected company executives to bullying, threats and “obscenity-filled tirades,” according to a copy of a letter obtained by WBEZ.
For months, Pappas has blamed Texas-based Tyler Technologies for technological problems that delayed property tax revenue payments to school districts, local governments and other taxing bodies across the county.
But in a letter Monday to Pappas, Tyler CEO H. Lynn Moore Jr. bemoaned what he called the “scapegoating” of the company, which has been working for years to upgrade the county’s property tax system. Moore alleged that the treasurer has shown a “lack of accountability” for mistakes by her own office in her efforts to “deflect blame and divert attention to us.”
This is in regard to the property tax bills being months and month late, along with almost $200 million in refunds being delayed because of computer issues with the switchover to a new program.
Pappas has already replied, saying she's fighting for taxpayers.
Prickwrinkle says she's referring the complaint to the county Ethics Board.
Allegations like these go nowhere, but do provide juicy gossip for the campaign flyers that will be going out over the summer.
Pappas is obviously not the choice of the Prickwrinkle Machine.

Vote them all out!!!!!!
Discover an error/problem.
Deny culpability.
Redirect to someone else or thing.
Assign blame once the fall guy has been chosen.
Then claim the corrective solution has been initiated.
Pappas is a fighter, I think she will be an excellent mayor for this city. F the machine, let’s right this f’n ship. She def backs the blue babyyyyy
Time to retire da boat of em for crisis sake
Hmmm upgrading the tax system took years: bet the typical usual h1b visa team was onboard, like typical telephone support that can't finish the job, dishonestly implements, delays and delays, only does the minimum and never ever totally connects the plug.
Everything is completed by using the agile and mini sprints (mini phases) that never align, with sugar coated sidestepping and double talk. Think being sold something fake vs real. It takes a while to figure out the bamboozling and then months more to figure out how to fix it. Been there, seen many company's suffer through it. They're the never ending projects. Guaranted cost over runs and a system that never works.
Could also be toenail's hidden hackers or other internal city saboteur(s) slow walking/destroying the project because it eliminates someone's fiefdom, scam operation, or someone now has to do a job.
More likely a combination. Been there done that with a city implementation project and a few corporate projects.
I don't blame her for swearing.
If she were only doing her job instead of posing for that obnoxious calendar she put out.
It's refreshing to see a politician ripping a new hole in a connected contractor who isn't doing their job. Maria Pappas would have a field day as Mayor. The Johnson people would be pissing in their pants.
yet every computer system the county has or had will always raise what the taxpayers pay
Pappas is pretty much a wild card Democrat. Crazy, in your face, honest and a pain in the ass of the regular party.
Fun to watch and worth your vote if only to screw over Toni.
Just remember, it was reported about a week ago that Taxwinkle owns stock in Tyler technologies.
Then she hires that incompetent company to upgrade the county's computers.
Just the usual Crook County graft machine!
Look at this mentally challenged Brandon Johnson’s rebuttal to the state of the union address. This guy needs to be committed. He’s totally delusional. Talk about stupid Brandon just resigned.

So how does the New system always send out the first installment ON TIME but cant get the second one out?? Makes no sense.
🤥 sure my property tax increase of 210% was an error… I may look naive, but far from stupid… I want my refund… Trump was Right‼️
I’m embarrassed that I believed the Democratic Propaganda 🤦🏾♀️
Maria kicks butt!
hey idiot she is a part of the greek machine
FBI raids home and offices of major Los Angeles school district superintendent

I’m hoping that Stacy Gates and Brandon Johnson get that 5 AM not at the door because they definitely need a forensic investigation. Also all that money missing millions and millions of taxpayer dollars gone praying President Trump sends the team here we voted for this they are aware.
But you had to vote for him because he's black. Lmfao morons !
There needs to be a deep-dive investigation into Melissa Conyears-Ervin campaign finances. Voters deserve to know how she’s affording ads on every channel.
If any pension funds or entities connected and donated to her campaign, that should immediately be reviewed by the ethics committee. She is not the right candidate.
I Saw Kamala drinking Martell while watching Woody Woodpecker Cartoons Says:
Say what you want about Maria Papas, at least she was fiscally responsible and didn’t spout off about evrything.like the current Fool.
So did Pappas. It was in a mutual fund and she says as soon as she found out about it she sold it. Wasn’t individually owned stock.
The first installment requires zero input from outside departments or entities. They just take your full tax from last year, multiply by .55, put it on a bill and send it out.
The second installment takes calculations based on assessed value (after appeals), and also requires all the taxing bodies picking your pocket (park districts, schools, cities, villages, mosquito control district) to feed how much tax they’re owed to the treasurers office. The treasurer has to wait to get all that information before they can print the bill. That’s one legitimate reason why the second is usually late.
But another real reason, especially during an election year, is they don’t want you to see your new higher bill before you vote.
Surprisingly , the first few years she was in office, Preckwinkle got the second one out on time. And then it slipped back to the usual bullshit.
Sounds like what I just retired from in the corporate world. H1B, or contractors actually in India, who only worry about checking off the boxes and not the quality. Plus Agile and fucking Sprints. That Agile shit is responsible for the destruction of software quality. I guarantee you all the bad software updates, or the fixes to fixes that you get for your software are from companies using Agile methodology.
if we had an honest FBI and DOJ, they'd be watching IL elections like hawks. We don't and I expect the voting machines to output what the "machine" wants.
Chicago has to be on the radar. CPS has been so corrupt for so long
She is a part of the “machine”’ . Even her fellow Greeks don’t want her
