Todd "Corruption Tax" Stroger dragged into municipal election

Municipal elections will take place next month in many Illinois communities, including Niles, which is just west of Morton Grove.

The Maine Township Incumbents slate is running a group of candidates in Niles, and is bringing Cook County Board President Todd Stroger into the political dialogue. Now there is nothing these individuals can do, even if they win in April, about Stroger, a hack who gave Chicagoans the nation's highest sales tax. Suburbanites such as myself and the residents of Niles pay the America's second highest.

Stroger faces voters in next February in the Democratic Primary.

Expect Stroger's "corruption tax" to be the hottest issue when voters head to the polls on a cold winter day next year. For some voters, it will be the only issue.
