Counts I through VI are unchanged from the First Amended Complaint. Counts VII and VIII, which added the Republican patronage defendants in 1972, are also unchanged. Final judgments have been entered on Counts I-VIII as to the City and at various times to other defendants in the form of the Consent Orders entered in 1972 and 1983. Count IX, which joined IVI-IPO in 1991 as a plaintiff against the Cook County defendants, is also unchanged since its filing, since it is subject to a final judgment contained in a Consent Order with the County Defendants. Count X, which begins on page 49, is a supplement to Counts I-IX and concerns events occurring after entry of the judgment orders in this case.

  • 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.
