Cook County Assessor Joe Berrios
“Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios finds himself being dirtied up in one of those ugly disputes that, at least for now, amounts to one man’s word against another’s.But that’s enough for us. We’re inclined to believe the other guy. Berrios may find that unfair, but it’s the price he pays for running his office and political job like extensions of a family business.”
The editorial writers admit having no other inside knowledge of the incidents around the newest accusations against the Assessor, but seem pretty comfortable tarring him as scummy and not particularly trustworthy. We think that is an unseemly use of the opinion pages where this sort of personal attack should be frowned upon But we also agree with every word the folks at the Sun-Times wrote — Do you trust the guy?
