In a statement about a whistleblower at the office of the Cook County Medical Examiner, where bodies were stacked in body bags one on top of another, Cook County Board President Preckwinkle said, "I can't understand why a staff member who had a concern about operations would go to the media rather than try to deal with it internally."
Now, there's a typical Cook County response. Blame the whistleblower and sic the Cook County Inspector General on that person.
Surely, Preckwinkle can't be that stupid. Can she? Employees had to be complaining, and they saw that nothing was being done! So, finally one brave employee took pictures and gave them to ABC-TV in Chicago.
Three cheers for that employee!

Three cheers, certainly, Gus. But one must question whether or not “reality” does eventually surface as regards Preckwinkle’s attention before it becomes a “story”.
Were I a Cook County resident, and as a Libertarian and erstwhile Republican voter, I would both be a Preckwinckle supporter and voter. Toni is doing the “Lord’s Work” in Cook County.
I see no reason as regards Preckwinkle as to why the Coroner’s Office employees need “unburden themselves” as regards Preckwinckle.
Toni Preckwinkle seems as much a “straight shooter” as can possibly be.
I’m not a straight-ticket voter myself. I can and do vote for Jesse White, and if in Cook, would also be voting for Lisa and Toni.
Toni cannot possibly be aware of all underlying problems unless such problems are presented her AND that she be given an opportunity to respond. Somewhere, there must be a political “firewall” between Toni and such “problems” in the Coroner’s Office. So – who is that “firewall”, such “firewall” as being between the problems that may exist, and such problems as may be solved by Toni should she only be aware of them?
So far, Toni’s been kicking ass. She can hardly be faulted for problems that as of yet, she’s been shielded from.
My God – look at the sorry state of the Lake County Coroner’s Office, much less that of the Lake County Attorney General’s Office – or that of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.
In light of their manifest failures, Toni’s lookin’ pretty good in Cook, now ain’t she?
