Stroger Follies

Gee, it looks like the Toddler is attempting to run for office again:

• Cook County Board President Todd Stroger has ousted his cousin from her $175,701-a-year job as the county’s chief financial officer amid questions about her dealings with a recently fired county patronage worker.
• The controversy began after the Chicago Sun-Times raised questions about Cole’s troubled past — as well as the fact that Dunnings twice bailed him out of jail while he was her then-$58,000-a-year administrative assistant, according to court records.

Well, that explains why the Toddler had to give his cousin a raise - her boyfriend's bail money was eating into her disposable income.

And combine this with the report a day or so ago about the Toddler's "tax cut" - 0.25% - which means it you spend $100 in Cook County, you'll save a quarter!

He's a shoo-in as the reform candidate.
