From the Chicago Sun-Times:
Just 18 months ago, Todd Stroger was campaigning for office on a promise to make Cook County government more open and transparent.
Now, though, the County Board President is forcing anyone who works under him to sign a confidentiality agreement — promising they won’t disclose anything he deems "confidential" that they "learned, disclosed or observed" while on the job.
They must also promise never to disclose information after they leave their job.
Not even Mayor Daley requires such obedience from his employees and those familiar with Gov. Blagojevich's operations don't believe he does, either. But Stroger is making those closest to him — department heads, bureau chiefs and anyone working in his PR operation — sign it.
