YMCA Director Chris Frances asked Commissioner Sue Hakes to sit on the Cook County Community Center Planning Board. What a smart political move by Frances as he knows Hakes will vote however he asks her to vote. The fox will be guarding the hen house.
In the same May 18th article, Hakes opines on how “fiscally responsible” she will be and how “I’ve already demonstrated this.” I feel that is so far removed from the truth. Hakes has been the major moving force to saddle the county taxpayers with a building the county cannot afford to build much less maintain. She has repeatedly bowed to the demands of the school district who supposedly wanted the Y attached to the school and now is attaching demand after demand to that “generous” offer.
If anything, she has consistently and repeated by demonstrated her fiscal irresponsibility and her lack of accountability.
