Like thousands of Illinoisans who have lost their jobs, former Cook County Board President Todd Stroger has applied for unemployment benefits.
But newly minted Board President Toni Preckwinkle’s administration officially “protested” the claim with the state’s unemployment agency.
“. . . Former Board President Todd Stroger did submit an application for unemployment,” said a source in the Preckwinkle administration who is familiar with the application. “That application was protested because, as a former elected official, he is ineligible.”
It's not as if he has any marketable skills. Without sponging off the taxpayer again, the Toddler might end up living in a van, down by the river, begging for change at expressway ramps and scrapping cans out of the trash.
