Hypocrisy, Thy Name is Stroger. As Cook County Board President Todd Stroger huffed and puffed in defense of his tax repeal veto yesterday, the Sun-Times' Chris Fusco played Fletch and did a little digging. His find? That the Toddler and his wife owe $12,000 in unpaid income taxes. According to the Sun-Times:

Todd Stroger might be "doing a damn good job" running the county, but he didn't do such a good job managing his own campaign for County Board President. According to state election officials, Stroger violated campaign fundraising reporting rules in 2006, resulting in $27,000 in fines. That includes $25,581 for failing to file timely reports on contributions of more than $500 that it received in the final weeks before the 2006 general election, and an additional $1,175 for failing to file its organization papers with the elections board in a timely fashion.
