The Cook County Sheriff's Office released this statement regarding the trial:
"This specific case started over six years ago during a previous administration. Not one of the individuals suing the county was fired and some were promoted. It is beyond perplexing that these individuals are suing for more money when they already have had every opportunity for promotion. Sheriff Dart and his office proudly stand on their record."
"The Cook County Sheriff's Office is very proud of the fact that it is the only local government office that has been declared in compliance by the federal courts and therefore is no longer monitored by the courts or their appointed monitors. The office worked hard during the monitoring process and is proud of its ethical integrity. It cannot be stressed enough that this was a federal court decision to free the sheriff's office of the monitor, based on the hard work and policies implemented by the dart administration.
The ironic thing is dart disbanded the unit that is suing him and he throws sheehan under the bus. He is such a weasel.
ReplyDeleteOpening arguments are expected Monday afternoon in a federal trial stemming from a lawsuit accusing Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart of political discrimination. The suit was filed by 21 employees from the department's elite Special Operation Response Team, who claim the unit was disbanded because they supported Dart's opponent in the 2006 primary election.
The unit was disbanded two weeks after the election. The plaintiffs call that political retribution .
If it wasn't for Sheahan where would Tom Dart be? So much for loyalty.
ReplyDeleteDart cares only about himself. Remember that the next time he wants help.
DeleteIf only whores, puppies, and indigent dead could still vote, well, one out of three aint bad.
