I believe this is Smith pulling a Bill Beavers he wants an aldermans pension and a Cook Co. paycheck. The recorder of deeds office should not be an elected office anyway it should be held by a proffesional not a politican. Smith who seems to be a decent alderman (by chicago standards) is just doing things the chicago way get a pension from the city a paycheck from the County and double dip.

I believe this is just Ed Smith doing a Bill Beavers. He wants a city aldermans pension and a cook co. paycheck. The recorder of deeds job is a joke and it shouldnt be an elected office. Smith is a decent alderman but this seems like a blatant attempt to cash in and do some double dipping.

As much as I use to dislike Smith, I am now pretty impressed with his "voice", especially in these times. Also I think he has authored at least one romance crime novel, which makes him the first I think alderman novelist.
