***********************************
Jeff Berkowitz: … We’re making news…You watch Public Affairs … because we make news…most people thought this Cook County Board [President] race was going to be about, at least in part, some would say in large part, the [Cook County] sales tax increase.
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin (D-Evanston): That’s a minor part of it. [Watch the show w/Cook County Board President candidate Larry Suffredin here].
Jeff Berkowitz: You’re saying it’s not an issue. You’re thumbing your nose at the Chicago Tribune. Right here, as you speak to me—
****************************************
Jeff Berkowitz: Maybe if you [hadn’t] raised [the sales tax] a year ago, the economy in Cook County and Illinois might be better [now].
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: Cook County would have gone bankrupt. Cook County would have failed. We wouldn’t have the ability of the Sheriff to be out at Burr Oak Cemetery trying...
****************************
Jeff Berkowitz: Which income level would you start raising incomes taxes at?
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: I think a progressive income tax, which is what the federal system is.
Jeff Berkowitz: No, but which income tax group would you say should pay a higher tax? $50,000? $100,000? $150,000?
******************************
Jeff Berkowitz: Are you going to make [your tax returns] available on October 15th.
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: If I am a candidate for this office, absolutely.
********************************
Jeff Berkowitz: Well, what is [your net worth]? Just tell us right now. August 9, 2009.
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: I don’t know.
Jeff Berkowitz: More than a million?

******************************************
The Cook County Sales Tax: the big issue in the 2010 President's race?
Jeff Berkowitz: … We’re making news…You watch Public Affairs … because we make news…most people thought this Cook County Board [President] race was going to be about, at least in part, some would say in large part, the [Cook County] sales tax increase
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: That’s a minor part of it.
Jeff Berkowitz: You’re saying it’s not an issue. You’re thumbing your nose at the Chicago Tribune. Right here, as you speak to me—
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: The Chicago Tribune is, at this point, maybe not even in business by…February.
Jeff Berkowitz: So, you’re writing off that endorsement. They’re not going to endorse you.
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: The Tribune’s not going to endorse me. They’ve already said it fourteen times in editorials. The Chicago Sun-Times probably isn’t going to endorse me.
Jeff Berkowitz: Because of your support of the sales tax [increase].
Nobody reads the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times?
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: Newspapers. Nobody’s reading them, Jeff. Nobody’s reading them.
Jeff Berkowitz: Come on, now. They are very important in the suburbs. The Tribune is important in the suburbs…
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: It was important in the suburbs.
Jeff Berkowitz: The Sun-Times is important on the South Side of Chicago.
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: They were important.
Jeff Berkowitz: It is important in the African-American community.
What are the issues in the 2010 Board President race?
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: They may not be in business. Newspapers aren’t the issue. The issues are—what is in the best interests of people here… the million people who are now getting their health care at our system…In New Trier Township [includes Winnetka, Kenilworth, Wilmette, Glencoe, Northfield and Glenview on Chicago’s North Shore] that I represent…what are [their officials] talking about? Expanding their food pantry. We have poverty all around us because of the economy.
Jeff Berkowitz: We have more unemployment in Illinois than the average in the country.
The Cook County economy and the Sales Tax increase
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: Exactly right… and that’s why we’ve got to reduce the sales tax…
Jeff Berkowitz: Oh, now we have to reduce it. You didn’t mind raising it [before].
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: I stabilized government.
Jeff Berkowitz: You told me [the sales tax increase] was not doing anything to hurt the [Cook County] economy and now you’re saying it is? Two minutes ago, you said that on this show.
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: No, I said to you that you never collect extra revenue. You don’t build up surpluses. We don’t need the sales tax [increase] today. We needed it a year ago. We don’t need it today.
Jeff Berkowitz: Maybe if you [hadn’t] raised [the sales tax] a year ago, the economy in Cook County and Illinois might be better [now].
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: Cook County would have gone bankrupt. Cook County would have failed. We wouldn’t have the ability of the Sheriff to be out at Burr Oak Cemetery trying to do those investigations because we wouldn’t have the revenue. [President Todd Stroger stated recently on “Public Affairs,” (Watch here) that he opposed the repeal of the sales tax because of various financial needs that could arise in the future, referring, for example, to Sheriff Dart’s recent request for $200,000 from Cook County’s general revenue fund to cover the cost of Dart’s investigations at Burr Oak Cemetery].
**************************************************
Tax the rich? Who is rich? Raise the state income tax on those families with incomes more than 85K?
Jeff Berkowitz: …You also want to tax the rich. You want a progressive tax.
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: No, no. A progressive tax…we’re all the rich. There are a lot of us out here who have incomes who can afford to pay more in income tax than we do. But, we’ve got to get this to be a fairer system.
Jeff Berkowitz: Which income level would you start raising incomes taxes at?
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: I think a progressive income tax, which is what the federal system is.
Jeff Berkowitz: No, but which income tax group would you say should pay a higher tax? $50,000? $100,000? $150,000?
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: I think you start at $85,000, which is the salary of a [Cook] County Commissioner. I think from $85, 000 on, you should be able to …
Jeff Berkowitz: So, you’re telling people out there, people earning $85,000 or more, our viewers, they should be paying more taxes.
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: They should be paying more income tax and they should be paying less property tax and less sales tax.
Jeff Berkowitz: That’s not a prescription to win this race. You want to be County Board President, right?
What wins the race for Cook County Board President?
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: The prescription to win this race is to put together a program in which the people get the services they need, and those services are fair assessments; they are a fair sales tax; they are property tax reforms that protect the schools having the revenues they need- that’s what the County Board President [has] got to do.
Jeff Berkowitz: You are running for Cook County Board President.
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: But, I collect the taxes at Cook County for all those schools. We assess the property taxes for Cook County.
*******************************************
Will Cmsr. Suffredin make his tax returns available to the public?
Jeff Berkowitz: Right now. August 9, 2009. Right now. Make them available. They’re filed in the spring, right? Did you file your tax returns?
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: I have an extension. I’ll be filing my last year’s [tax] returns--
Jeff Berkowitz: August 15th?
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: Probably October 15th.
Jeff Berkowitz: Are you going to make [your tax returns] available on October 15th.
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: If I am a candidate for this office, absolutely.
Suffredin to release his tax returns on October 15, 2009
Jeff Berkowitz: You’ll make them available Oct. 15th?
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: That’s right.
Jeff Berkowitz: Schedules, everything, Okay?
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: I don’t have any problem with that. I mean, look, transparency is what’s important. Money is important.
Suffredin's Net Worth: More than a million?
Jeff Berkowitz: What’s your net worth. Are you going to tell people your net worth?
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: They can see what my net worth is, it’s no problem.
Jeff Berkowitz: No, they can’t see it. It doesn’t say it on your tax return.
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: No, No. I file my economic disclosure statement.
Jeff Berkowitz: Does that state your net worth?
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: It certainly gives them enough indication of it.
Jeff Berkowitz: Well, what is it? Just tell us right now. August 9, 2009.
Cmsr. Larry Suffredin: I don’t know.
Jeff Berkowitz: More than a million?
