This is just sickening! From the BND link: Prenzler affirmed that he did allow a zero-interest tax sale on property owned by fellow Republican Don Weber. But he said a county attorney advised him before the 2013 sale that the practice of offering delinquent taxes for single bidders at zero interest in advance of the public auction would not violate the new, tougher tax sale laws enacted after former Madison County treasurer Fred Bathon was convicted of rigging tax sales at high interest rates to benefit political cronies. Then during the Bathon scandal: EDWARDSVILLE — Attorney Don Weber believes he can do what federal prosecutors said they could not: Set up a restitution system to compensate 10,000 property owners ripped off by ex-Madison County Treasurer Fred Bathon's rigged property tax auctions.
