"For all the criticism aimed at Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios - allegations of ethics violations, nepotism, lack of transparency - there’s a more foundational problem. He’s bad at his job."

The problem is that, in addition to his incumbency, he has the advantage of being in an obscure office. Voters pay attention to the candidates for Governor and County Board chairmen, but who cares about the assessor?

Joe is an old fashioned, corrupt democrat. If you want to see Joe in all his glory, go to a local steakhouse in River North almost any night of the week and you will see Joe surrounded by compadres, coat holders, and flunkies paying homage to him at the bar. Be careful what you say or do around him because Joe's security goons will be watching closely.

Every day I pray for Madigan and his pandering cohorts to die of massive heart attacks. They have killed city. Bankruptcy is next and can't come soon enough.
