Two things happened at about the same time; first, Dorothy Brown called a press conference for her campaign for Cook County President, calling for ethics reform. Dorothy Brown is the Cook County Clerk of the Circuit Court right now. Her press conference was held on the fifth floor of the County building, an ethical no-no. Reportedly, her aids were carrying campaign signs - another no-no.
And in other related news, Angelo Colon, a Cook County Clerk since 1999, was charged with solicitation of a bribe and corruption. He allegedly accepted $13,000 from a woman to get her husband, who is charged with drug trafficking, out of jail.
And we're to believe that Dorothy Brown is qualified to become Cook County President.
