I think that given the abuses that George Dunne heaped upon the tax payers of Cook Co. it is not at all surprising that John Stroger did the same. That no one was brave enough to stand up to the spineless idiot that is Todd is surprising -- the die has been cast and now Todd need only produce enough progeny so that the Throne of Cook shall never leave his loins...
