Cook County Cutbacks?

Let's ask our Cook County Commissioner John Daley
Cook County is reeling from the great recession. Witness the following.
  • There have been thousands of layoffs in numerous departments.
  • Tax revenues are way down.
  • Suburban courthouses are going to be closed on the weekends.
  • Now you have to pay for parking at those courthouses.
  • Has anyone noticed the recent, very quite migration of City of Chicago employees to the Cook County, Cook County Health Services and the Cook County Forest Preserve payrolls? About a dozen of them so far. A few of them even got county cars. All of them related to a certain political family.  What would Michael Shakman say? Why is this happening when so many others are being laid off?

    As I said a few years ago..

    A good slogan for the 19th ward would be

    The 19th ward.. "Politics for the Chosen"

    or "I got mine you get your own"

    I was reading on the other 19th ward blog that Sheriff Dart wants inmates to build the coffins for the County Morgue. Tell me this is a joke.

    Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart investigated the horrible burial conditions at Burr Oak Cemetary. .

    Using what they learned from Burr Oak, Dart said his office would take over the burial function and move bodies out of the morgue quicker. He also said inmates could be responsible for making the coffins

    Judgeing from the pic it could be the Daleys

    but it could be the Hyneseses

    or the Ruguys but the ruguys could never get 12 jobs.

    mayybe its the Joyces,

    Or the Sheahans, but I hope not because, they are pretty decent people.

    After that I dont know but I think someone is going to jail.

    I noticed that too. Also there has been no activity at Franconella's. I wonder if anyone can tell us what they have heard about these two restaurants. Hopefully we can get the word out about this blog and others similar that talk openly about what is happening. While I do think the Beverly Review can be helpful, it is still a politically aligned (Democrat, Obama for re-election Editorials in Dec of 2011) paper. Thanks blogger for sticking your neck out to provide readers with some uncensored information...

      HOME RUN PIZZA IS HAVING MINOR CONSTRUCTION ISSUES. THEY WILL BE OK

      FRANCONELLO'S MAY NOT REOPEN. STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS AND INSURANCE PROBLEMS. THE PLACE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT. THE CURRENT ECONOMY WON'T SUPPORT THAT. IT'S A MAJOR LOSS FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
