Stroger
tax veto stands |
|
"This is not going to go away.
People are angry, rightfully so. They
see higher taxes paying for scandal
and abuse in this government. They're
suffering in this economy and they
want a repeal. And so we're going
to keep doing this. We're going to
keep repealing it. If he wants to
veto, he can do that at his own risk."

Fox News Chicago investigates county
highway department and finds "County
Workers Caught Asleep On The Job" |

"This is not a choice between
healthcare and higher taxes - this
is about good management."
Forrest Claypool
to ABC News 5/12/09. |
Forrest
Interviewed on Sales Tax Repeal |
"The
Board cannot be the chief executive
of the county...What the board can
do, however, is to say 'No' to an
outrageous tax increase when people
are struggling to pay for Todd Stroger's
'Friends and Family Plan'."

Demand
For Answers In Stroger Hiring Scandal |
CBS
News says, "Stroger took Cole
from a busboy at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse,
to a $60,000-a-year county worker.
He ended up as Dunnings' assistant
without apparently going through any
of the normal background checks...
If Cole had been checked out before
he was hired, Stroger would have been
saved a lot of embarrassment and taxpayers'
money wouldn't have been wasted."

backtracks on his sales tax increase |

ABC
News says, "Stroger denies politics
are at play. But just a few months
ago he sought to borrow $360-million
when he said he needed to shore-up
the budget. Now, he says he has a
surplus."
