From NBC 5.com:
Chicago congressman Bobby Rush is the target of a mortgage foreclosure lawsuit.
The suit alleges Rush has failed to make payments on his South Calumet Avenue home since July.
The three-story 3,400-square-foot home is valued at $215,000.
Rush and his wife run the Englewood Community Development Corp. and the congressman has used political campaign funds to support the church where he is a pastor, NBC5 reported.
Rush calls the foreclosure action "a challenge that has been rectified."
Interesting. Chicagoans send this guy to Congress to manage taxpayers' money, but he can't seem to manage his own funds. About about that church of where he's a pastor: Wouldn't its acceptance of political funds violate--assuming it has it--its tax exempt status?
The South Side congressman does know the value of money: Rush is a big proponent of slavery reparations, as you'll read here and here.
