The Curious Case of the Composting Rapper
Todd Stroger and his allies claim they’ve cut the budget “to the bone.”
They’ve justified their tax hikes by saying the county is in dire budget straights and they need more of your hard-earned tax dollars to keep government providing frontline services.
So then why did they provide a $24,795 contract to a rap music promoter as part of a “composting awareness” effort?
That’s right, as you can see from the Fox Chicago News segment below, a rap promoter named Terrell “Shorty Capone” Harris received his contract as part of a $10 million federal grant to promote environmental awareness. So, not only is Cook County wasting local tax dollars — taxpayers across the country can rest assured that Cook County is wasting theirs, as well.

She said he was getting \’trained\’ in composting? Why didn\’t she get someone who ALREADY knows about it?
Someone at the Chicago Botanical Garden or the DNR probably already have loads of information ready to use (and already paid for).
Here is a composting link from the CBG, just in case Shorty still needs material to study.
Tell me what you're thinking...
