The Associated Press has reported the release of Cicero's ex-mayor, Betty Loren-Maltese. Remember her? Even if you don't remember her, you'll remember her hair.
She was headed for a Salvation Army halfway house in Chicago, where she'll spend the next four months. Guess that'll be a little different than her island golf course in Wisconsin or her horse farm or her California prison cell, where she spent the last 6 1/2 years.
So, are things cleaned up in Cicero?
Supposedly news surfaced only last Monday that Loren-Maltese, 60, and her mother were receiving health insurance benefits from Cicero "under a law she (Loren-Maltese) 'rammed through' while still in office that provides coverage to all Cicero elected officials for life..."
The next day her mother's benefits were cut off because she had never held elected office. Will someone explain, to me or to anyone else (like the taxpayers in Cicero), why it took until February 15, 2010, to figure out that Loren-Maltese and her mother were still being provided with health insurance benefits?
Are there any municipalties in McHenry County that provide such benefits to elected officials?
