  • Cook County Board of Commissioners Report February 23, 2007 – December 1, 2009
    Cook County Wars Cook County Board of Commissioners Report February 23, 2007 – December 1, 2009 Authored By: Dick Simpson Tom Kelly University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science December 15, 2009 Over the last three years, the Cook County Commissioners have been embroiled in bitter battles over budgets, taxes, and spending. Since February 2007, there have been fourteen major divided roll call votes, twelve of which have involved the operating budget and sales tax to fund it. One was about reorganizing and adding to the county government’s debt, and one had to do with the appointment of Patrick Blanchard as the new Inspector General charged with ferreting out corruption and waste. While not as vicious or racially divided as Chicago’s famous “Council Wars” under Mayor Harold Washington, “County Wars” over budgets, debt, and taxes have been highly emotionally charged with plenty of heated rhetoric and many angry taxpayers. It is expected that the votes on these issues will play a prominent role in the February 2, 2010 primary election of the Cook County Board President and County Board members. While the news media have covered the individual votes of the county board meetings, there is no easy way to obtain the voting record of each commissioner. The Cook County Clerk does not post the controversial divided role call votes of commissioners on his website as the Chicago City Clerk does for the Chicago City Council. Therefore, we have compiled fourteen of the most critical votes for the news media, civic organizations, and voters so that they may hold commissioners accountable for their representation of their districts and the county as a whole.
