This morning, Cook County Board President Todd Stroger appeared on Fox's Good Day Chicago alongside Cook County Commissioner Deborah Sims. Sims, of course, was the swing-vote whose change of heart led to the failure to repeal Stroger's veto of the county tax rollback. While our favorite highlight is the look Jan Jeffcoat gives Stroger at the 6:08 mark while David Novarro sparrs with Stroger. Another one worth noting comes at 8:24 when Stroger vehemently grades himself: "I've done an A+ [job]."
