Cook County Assessor (and Democratic Central Committee Chairman) Joe Berrios just cost the taxpayers $529,000 – the settlements we’ll be paying to 11 county workers he fired so he could replace them with family members and political cronies.
Berrios said he didn’t know the firings were impermissible because “I thought they were all at-will employees.” Considering that political hirings and firings have been illegal for 40 years, Berrios should have known better. Most likely, he doesn’t care. When questioned about his hiring practices, Berrios claims he’s not subject to county ethics rules that prohibit nepotism. Then he asks why his enemies are picking on a Puerto Rican kid from Cabrini-Green for doing what the Bridgeport and Beverly Irish have done for generations.
...
Overall, various Berrioses are collecting $1,058,548 in public pensions and salaries each year. If they were all docked 10 percent, they could pay the county back for Uncle Joe’s transgressions in five years.

DemocRATS are nothing but a bunch of greedy crooks.
“..DemocRATS are nothing but a bunch of greedy crooks...”
Boss Tweed lives on in the spirit of the DemocRAT party. Conceived in crime, built on crime, continuing on crime with no end in sight.
The problem with DemocRATS is that they refuse to do an honest day’s work to earn money. They prefer to steal it from hardworking Americans.
$hicago has always been a POS...look who has come from there....
Democrats don’t go to jail for running guns to drug cartels, keeping national secrets on non-secure servers in their basement, having cartel-funded sex parties, using the IRS to punish political enemies, breaking laws selling baby parts, and pursuing political vendettas using prosecuters and he wants them to pay back money for political cronyism and nepotism. Good luck with that.
cRook county Illinois, where the politicians make your license plates.
Sue the Democrat Party. They have LOTS of money.
Well 4 of the last 7 state governors have done actual time in the slammer, so not everybody walks.
“”picking on a Puerto Rican kid from Cabrini-Green “”
Oh! Here we go! Remember when Puerto Ricans were the only nationality we worried about flocking to the U. S.? Now they can claim their toes are being stepped on again.
Isn’t that illegal?
If so doesn’t he owe some time in prison??
“...They prefer to steal it from hardworking Americans.”
Yes. Lazy, protected socialists. Mixed with an ample assortment of bums, losers, criminals, and dead-beats.
