From the guy who wanted to raise the Cook County sales tax by 2 percentage points to pay for his wasteful level of government, here is his latest scam of taxpayers:
Cook County Board President Todd Stroger is laying the groundwork to turn to taxpayers for more money to help in his struggling public relations efforts.
In a proposal to the County Board, Stroger's hospital chief asks for $120,000 for a five-month contract with a clout-heavy PR firm to spread the good word about the hospital and its services.
Very nice of him to want to take more taxpayer money for something like this. He is truly appalling, and everyone who voted for him should be ashamed of themselves (but I know they are not).
Let's summarize:
The county hospitals are wasteful and expensive, and there isn't enough tax money coming in right now to keep them going in their current state.
Stroger's solution is to spend more money to publicize to poor people county hospital services they may not be using.
So they can't afford what they do now, but he wants to have to spend more? That just doesn't make sense. It sounds to me that he just wants to have as much power as possible in his county government.
