County Board fails to limit Stroger's powerWednesday, May 19, 2010
Chicago Sun-Times
by Abdon M. Pallasch Cook County commissioners thought they had the votes to override President Todd Stroger's veto of a bill limiting his power to hire and give raises for the rest of his seven-month lame-duck term. But Stroger won over a few commissioners who had voted for the ordinance and the measure got only nine of 17 votes Tuesday, shy of the super majority it needed.
"People just caved," Commissioner Larry Suffredin said.
The bill was proposed after reports that Stroger filled numerous jobs and gave raises after he lost his re-election bid.
