Stroger's "Clean" Machine

It's Stroger's Cook County "Clean" Machine. Sun Times:

Also Monday, the county board voted 9-8 on Stroger's request to approve a no-bid contract with a cleaning company that has ties to Stroger's political organization and to Cicero-based mob figures.

We Clean Maintenance & Supply got the $357,000 contract to clean the county building for the next 135 days, replacing county janitors laid off because of budget cuts.

Company officials, citing the "security of our clients," declined to comment.

Is We Clean clean? Are they in the "security" business too?

Not even a month after the Cook County Board made massive cuts to pass a $3 billion budget, next year's deficit is already in the millions.

Cigarette sales, collection of hospital patient fees and fees from recording property deeds are all lower than officials anticipated when balancing this year's budget, records released Monday show.
