How many levels of wrong...

Officials cut 321 jobs to fill a $200 million budget gap. These include:

-156 positions from the court system

-100 from the Cook County Sheriff’s Department

-34 from the hospital system

-15 from the board president’s office.

But commissioners say front-line services were spared.

Spared, for now. The public is affected most by both the lay offs and cuts to services.

Better talk to those evil Republicans on the Commission. Bad Republicans!

Blaming one side or the other excuses their actions. They are all one governing body, they all go one way together.

In this case they fired a bunch of public working in public service jobs.

Nice try......

13 Democrats(76.4%) on Board , 4 Republicans (23.6%).

It's been a heavily Democratic controlled board forever. This is a totally owned by the Democrats problem.

Brainwashed into thinking one or the other side is responsible.

Or a minion, whichever...
