Governor’s wife donates sculpture to museum – WCIA (Champaign)

Purchased at an auction for $400,000 last week, the sculpture previously belonged to the Lincoln family, and it was displayed in their Springfield home until Lincoln took office. Before departing for Washington, D.C., the Lincolns gave the sculpture to a neighbor and it remained with the Miner family until being put up for auction.

MK “Sans Toilets” Pritzker is a marvel at finding tax write-offs.

Isn’t that amount close to what they saved in property taxes?
