Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
CHICAGO, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- Illinois Congressman Bobby Rush reportedly has put his financial affairs in order after facing foreclosure on two home mortgages.
The Democrat, a one-time Black Panther turned preacher, was just days from losing a condominium he and his wife own in a private gated community in Buchanan, Mich. The condo was to have been auctioned this week.
The Chicago Sun-Times said Rush also was behind on the mortgage on his South Side Chicago residence but that both foreclosure actions apparently had been resolved.
Rush borrowed nearly $550,000 in two mortgages in 2001 and used much of the money to start and support a church he pastors, "Beloved Community Christian Church," the newspaper said.
Rush said through a spokesman he made personal sacrifices to launch the church, WGN-TV, Chicago, reported.
The Sun-Times said Rush's Chicago home had been subject to a series of county and federal tax liens.
