  • Judy Or Rod? Big Differences!

Detailed Analysis Inside These Pages • Morris J. Amitay says “New York Times — Enough is Enough” MWRD President Terry O’Brien • Complete In-depth Political Roundup, Analysis and Endorsements Who are these people and should you be voting for them? Stroger & Peraica Battle to Wire for County Board Presidency The New York Times – Enough is Enough by Morrie Amitay After 50 plus years of reading the New York Times, I just couldn’t take it anymore. “All the news that’s fit to print” gave me that final push when it published the details of an effective secret surveillance program of terrorist financing. This, plus the incredible anti-Israel bias in its reporting finally convinced me to dump “the Gray Lady” for both emotional and political reasons. In recent months the Times has almost become a caricature of itself in pushing an uncompromising far left agenda with its selective reporting, disclosures of sensitive information which helps our enemies, and its extreme editorial pages. A steady diet of the “blame America” inanities spewed forth from the pens of Krugman, Herbert, Kristof and Dowd just became too much to stomach. For too long now Times readers endured not only blatant bias, but an unbelievable hatred expressed not only for the President, Vice President, and White House staff, but for our own country. With their motto – “my country, always wrong”, - it is reasonable to assume that despite any lip service about supporting our troops, they are secretly cheering for the insurgents in Iraq so that their own misbegotten views might be vindicated.

  • Corruption in Cook County: Anti-Corruption Report Number 3
    Corruption in Cook County: Anti-Corruption Report Number 3 February 18, 2010 Authored By: Thomas J. Gradel Dick Simpson And Tom Kelly With Andris Zimelis Kenneth Chow Alexandra Kathryn Curatolo Emily Gillot David Michelberger Marrell Stewart University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science and the Better Government Association 2 Introduction Cook County government has been a dark pool of political corruption for more than 140 years. The first public corruption scandal occurred in 1869 when a number of Cook County Commissioners accepted bribes to 1 approve a fraudulent contract to paint city hall. During the last several decades, Cook County has been a center of corruption with scandals emerging in many different units of county government. By chronicling the cases we hope to call attention to the need for meaningful reform. When county government such as Cook County Clerk David Orr’s office or Assessor James Houlihan’s office do undertake meaningful reform, others sink back into the mire. Public or political corruption occurs when government officials use their public office for private gain or benefit. In Cook County government this includes outright bribes as well as campaign contributions made by individuals or corporations in exchange for jobs, inflated contracts or political favors. It includes ghost payroll jobs in which individuals get a paycheck but do no work. With an annual budget of more than $3 billion—dishonest public servants find many different ways to profit illegally. The purpose of this report is to summarize the many different forms of corruption and to recommend basic reforms that need to be enacted to clean up Cook County government.
