Red-Light Cameras Not So Special?
- Cook County Board President Todd Stroger says he won't fight a war of secession against the towns that voted to leave Cook County, mainly to avoid county taxes, and create their own county. Stroger warned, though, that Barrington, Hanover and Palatine townships might be in over their heads. "But, what they do need to know is when they do that, they will have to have their own jail," he said. "They'll have to have their own elected officials; clerk, sheriff and all that. It's not going to save them money, it's going to cost them more money." [Daily Herald]
- Stroger fired human resources assistant and former University of Georgia basketball player Tony Cole, after finding out that Cole neglected to mention a felony conviction for writing bad checks. Stroger personally hired Cole in October 2008, overlooking his various misdemeanor and felony offenses in the past, since Cole vowed to get his life back on track. He was hired as an administrative assistant in the budget department and had already been promoted to the HR position in the highway department and given a raise. Employees are worried now, since he had access to their personal information. [Sun-Times]
- The Todd-ler wants your vote again. He announced (again) that he plans to run for re-election in 2010.

That quote from Urkel sounds like something an abusive husband would say.
"Oh yeah! You gonna leave me?!? Yeah? Screw you, nobody gonna want you, you, you gonna get fat and ugly bi-"
and then she leaves the dolt for the poolboy, writes a memoir, appears on Oprah and sells the movie rights.
shut up and put another relative on the payroll, Todd!
I saw him on Fox this morning and was waiting for Mike Barz to reach over and slap him in the forehead. Jan Jeffcoat should have done it for him but she just looked uncomfortable being that close to him.
