I think it is time to look at the “Mission from the County Attorney’s Office.” I know you had a letter to the editor telling people to go online and read it when this scandal first came out but I think it should be printed now.
Tim Scannell and his attorneys claim he did nothing illegal…so I guess that makes it okay? But it was certainly immoral and unethical for our elected county attorney.
The mission of the Cook County Attorney’s Office is to:
. Serve the people of Cook County;
. Protect and provide for the public safety by the vigorous and just prosecution of adult and juvenile violations of the law;
. Provide support and assistance to victims and witnesses of crimes; . Provide quality legal advice and effective representation to Cook County and its citizens; . Protect children from neglect and abuse;
. Support children and families by seeking the fair enforcement of child support obligations;
. Provide leadership and guidance on legal and public policy issues important to the citizens of Cook County.
The employees of the Cook County Attorney’s Office are well-qualified, competent, and dedicated to the fulfillment of this mission by employing the highest ethical standards and showing respect for every citizen’s rights. We will respond to the citizens of Cook County professionally and as efficiently as possible, given our resources.
