On the eve of his biggest day as Cook County Board president, Todd Stroger took to name-calling of elected officials he says have whined too much about having to cut their budgets.

  2. The Madigan family is going after a towing company in the south suburbs? Now that’s interesting. One of the objectors to Rich Whitney’s nominating petition owns a towing company in Country Club Hills that does a lot of work for local governments. It was Mike Kasper that represented the objectors; and as we all know, Kasper is close to both Blagojevich and Mike Madigan.
