    Fritz Kaegi--RIP, Country Preacher
    Feb 18 2026

    The day begins with sad news—the Rev Jesse Jackson died. Ben riffs. Fritz Kaegi talks property taxes and why, in his opinion, he deserves to be re-elected as Cook County Assessor. A debate ensues—should the county switch to acquisition-based assessments. Ben says yes. Fritz says not so fast. Stick around for the Trump Tower/Alderman Ed Burke history lesson. Fritz is running in the March 17 Democratic primary.
