Sun-Times Hits Nail on the Head

The Sun-Times editorial board hits the nail on the head this morning with this editorial.

All you need to read is this excerpt:

The more we learn about the Tony Cole scandal, the more we’re forced to question the credibility of Cook County Board President Todd Stroger.

It’s about more than just Tony Cole.  It’s about more than just Donna Dunnings.

It’s about a pattern of questionable behavior by President Stroger that calls into question his judgement.

Not that this is news to anybody.

But when somebody like Tony Cole is hired to a hefty taxpayer-funded salary while Todd Stroger is threatening doomsday and rejecting tax relief — it makes Cook County taxpayers feel angry and helpless.

We’ve Started a Twitter Revolution

Our use of Twitter to “live tweet” county board meetings first caused quite a stir — with some fellow commissioners “pooh-poohing” our use of the social media tool to open up the county board proceedings.

But it seems we’ve started a Twitter revolution.

Commissioner Schneider now has a Twitter accounty.  CommissionerGoslin has one, too.

And, lo and behold, the Stroger Administration is now “tweeting!”

We 100% welcome every one of these folks to the Twittersphere … and hope it fosters a healthy interactive dialogue on the future of our county.

Although, we will point out that an interactive dialogue would require the Stroger Administration to actually follow other tweeters…rather than just use it as a one-way broadcast mechanism.
