Brown's Husband Subpoenaed by the Feds

Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown's husband has been hit with a federal subpoena asking him to appear before a grand jury as part of an investigation into a state anti-violence program.

It is the second, ongoing probe into Cook that is also looking into how monies were dispensed from the $54 million anti-violence program.

Cook was paid more than $154,000.00 in salary and benefits from the grant funds.

According to the article, authorities are interested in grant money that Benton Cook III got from Governor Quinn's Neighborhood Recovery Initiative.

Cook is a convicted felon who claims to be a psychologist, but he holds no license.

In 2010, Governor Pat Quinn (D) narrowly survived a challenge from Republican State Senator Bill Brady (Quinn lost 98 of 102 counties, but made up these losses in metro areas). The anti-violence program has been faulted as a disguised "get out the vote" program for Quinn paid for by taxpayers.

Drip, Drip, Drip! It's only a matter of time until the THIRD GOVERNOR IN A ROW is indicted for corruption.

I personally cannot wait to see Quinn do the perp-walk. I just hope it's done before the corrupt son of a bitch and the corrupt Illinois State Legislature make the "temporary" tax hike they passed 4 years ago permanent.

Please don’t call him a SOB. You’re insulting female dogs, the vast majority of whom are better people than he. Just call him a subhuman POS.

> Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown... $54 million anti-violence program... Cook was paid more than $154,000.00 in salary and benefits from the grant funds.

And that’s what kept her from getting violent. Thanks PBRCat.
