Judge Maura Slattery Boyle and her husband received the lien six months ago for back taxes between 2018 to 2021. She won’t talk about that except to say they’ve now been paid.
Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson’s tax fraud case opens Monday. He’ll be the first from Chicago’s Daley political family to face trial and the first sitting Chicago City Council member on trial in more than two decades.

Patrick Daley Thompson needed money.
The nephew of former Mayor Richard M. Daley and grandson of the late Mayor Richard J. Daley had his law practice and his post as an elected commissioner of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. He also had whatever he took in from renting out a two-flat he owned in Bridgeport not far from the one where he and his family lived the same house where his grandfather lived as he built one of the nation’s most powerful political machines.
But Thompson also had two mortgages and, according to court records, he was nearly three years past due on one of them, owing $107,447 on a mortgage for the two-flat.
