Ex-Cook County GOP chairman, canned for his Mayor Daley bounty offer, considering legal action.

Hey Gary...just move on and find another job. As the former Chief Operating Officer of a huge real estate outfit, I think you'll land on your feet.

Oh, Illinois is an employee-at-will state.

From ABC 7 Chicago:

Republican leader Gary Skoien is considering legal action after he was fired from his job. His boss is a friend of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley.

Skoien has offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the mayor's conviction for corruption. With his family at his side, Skoein told reporters his boss had no choice but to fire him, but he is considering a lawsuit to get his job back.


"You cannot fire somebody in the United States of America -- maybe in Chicago -- but you cannot fire somebody in the United States of America for expressing a political belief. You can't do that," said Gary Skoien, Cook County Republican chairman.
