Stroger cuts 20 jobs, but critics want more Friday, February 09, 2007
Chicago Sun-Times
by STEVE PATTERSON Staff Reporter Provident Hospital's politically connected boss has been fired, as has the Forest Preserve's finance chief.
John Fairman of Provident and the Forest Preserve's Lenny Moore are out, as are 20 other appointed Cook County employees.
Board President Todd Stroger announced the firings Thursday and said he'll eliminate those 20 jobs completely, reducing his total number of appointed positions to 480 among 26,000 county jobs.
A search is on for Fairman's replacement, while Stroger's friend, Marlo Kemp, will take over as Forest Preserve CFO.
Among the 20 jobs being eliminated, most are held by secretaries and aides.
Commissioner Forrest Claypool said with "thousands of [unofficial] patronage jobs" in the county, the 20 are "completely insignificant." Commissioner Mike Quigley said in picking 20 jobs to cut, Stroger "took great pains not to cut anyone of political note or with family connections."
