Joe and Jennifer Korb Struggle to Get By in Their $800,000 Home


Daniel Bice:  No Quarter.  Couple shown in governors' group's anti-Burke ad aren't really poor. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3/9/2014)

Far from it.   As the announcer talks about jobless Wisconsin families, a photo of a couple appears on the screen. 

The two are never identified. But it's a picture of the Korbs, who live in Madison. 

The Korbs help run CHT Apartment Rentals, which owns and manages 600 rental units all around Madison. 

The company is owned by Joe's parents, though Joe is listed as an owner on his LinkedIn page. Dun & Bradstreet estimates the company has two dozen employees and annual revenue around $1.5 million. 

Dane County records show the Korbs' home has an estimated fair market value of $841,000. 

Bonus round.   Joe Korb also contributed $1,625 to 4 Republicans in 2012.
