CHICAGO (CN) - Owners of a Windham Hotel franchise say a Fox News affiliate falsely accused them of bribing State Rep. Paul Froehlich to get their property taxes reduced. Sharad and Harish Dani, operators of the Wingate by Windham Hotel in Schaumburg, say the allegations were baseless and that after the Fox News report came out, the Cook County Board of Review unfairly singled out their hotel for tax revaluation.
In their federal complaint, the Danis, father and son, claim that when they appealed their hotel property taxes in 2007, the co-defendant Cook County Board of Review reduced the appraisal, saving the Danis more than $40,000 per year.

Let's see now... 2007 was BEFORE the real estate meltdown of September 2008 that resulted in a drop in business to the current day. But back in 2007 things were swingin' (as Sinatra said about Chicago in song). So why would the Cook County Board of Review agree to LOWER the property taxes on the hotel during the tourist's spend-spend-spend years of the bubble? While I hate, hate, hate to agree with Faux sNews about ANYTHING, I do smell something fishy with the tax-lowering deal...
