County hiring probe OKdThursday, September 14, 2006
Chicago Sun-Times A federal judge ruled Wednesday that lawyers suing Cook County government for alleged patronage hiring can begin demanding information from county officials about alleged clout hiring. The judge also gave county officials until October to respond to allegations from attorney Michael Shakman that the county is violating the consent decree named for him, which forbids political hiring. Shakman's motion came in response to Sun-Times stories that, among other things, highlighted a county supervisor who said he felt coerced by former President John Stroger's administration to change test scores to hire clouted job applicants over qualified ones and that a county commissioner kept a "clout list" of which favored candidates deserved jobs or promotions.
