She has a driver who makes $94,000 a year and a cleaning lady making $57,000 a year. Is Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas wasting tax dollars?

In a joint investigation with the Better Government Association, CBS 2 Investigator Pam Zekman has been following these employees and found that their job titles have nothing to do with the work they actually do.

...But the driver is hidden in the budget as a “Project Leader.” The official job summary description includes; consulting with county officials “in the design, development and implementation of varied and highly sophisticated computer software applications to enhance business operations.”

...But Kawa is listed on the county payroll as a $57,347 a year, “Administrative Analyst.” The job duties described for this position include the following language; “Performs detailed investigation and analysis of operational systems and procedures, program and organization structures and polices to ascertain fiscal, technical, administrative or other problems which need further attention.”

This just in: a bear does take a dump in the woods or fire is hot or a Great White shark will eat you.

“CBS 2 hidden cameras captured Hatzisavas appearing to deliver clothes to the Pappas’ home. When Pappas was showed the video and asked how she could justify Hatzisavas doing personal errands she replied, “You know what, okay, alright, you know what look.”

No friggin democrat can stand the light of scrutiny. This was a very simple operation to catch her. Why are many others not being followed as well? We need to put our kids on projects such as “Catch a Crat” using their cell phones, cameras, etc.

she replied, “You know what, okay, alright, you know what look.”

Well put. She must have learned her speaking style from Mayor Daley.
