Just a week after Todd Stroger announced his nine nominees to head up the independent board that will operate the county hospitals, it was revealed that the former head of the Health Services Bureau is still calling the shots. Stroger said that Dr. Robert Simon had conducted the interviews for those nine candidates. Simon resigned his position as head of the Health Services Bureau last month. Just as quickly, he was given a contract to be a "consultant" to the new independent county hospital board. Simon, a long-time friend of the Stroger family, is being paid $6,000 a month for that consulting work. He earned $26K a month as director of the Health Services Bureau.
