Ethics Board fines Cook County official who ‘flagrantly’ disregarded nepotism ban; she must now fire her cousin as her top aide – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo News

The story shouldn’t end with a fine – she should lose her position and any pension that may be attached to the job.

The only way to stop this nonsense is to STOP THIS NONSENSE.

A dismissal would go a long way to make the rest of the political crooks start thinking “am I next?”
