Todd Stroger Biography

Todd Stroger is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on January 14, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Todd H. Stroger (born January 14 1963) was the chairman of the Cook County, Illinois Board and was a former alderman of Chicago’s 8th Ward in Chicago. Stroger is an active participant in the Democratic Party. In 2001 the year he has been appointed to Chicago City Council by Richard M. Daley. He is the father of John Stroger who served as Cook County Board president for 12 years, until his demise.

On 14 March 2006, John Stroger, Cook County Board of Commissioners president since 1994, and Todd Stroger’s dad, suffered an acute stroke just about a week prior to it was time for the Democratic primary. John Stroger eventually won the Democratic nomination, securing around 53 % of votes, beating Forrest Claypool. In the months following Stroger’s stroke, the elder was not seen in the public eye and his family offered only a few details about his condition.

On February 29, 2008, the Cook County Board, by a measure of 10-7, passed a budget initiated by Stroger. Stroger’s budget contained a tax increase of 1 percentage point, the largest ever passed by Cook County, with the intent of creating more than 1,000 new County jobs. As a result of Stroger’s bill, on July 1 the County sales tax increased from 0.75 percent to 1.75 percent bringing Chicago’s overall sales tax to 10.25 percent, which was the highest of any major U.S. city, while the sales tax was a minimum of 8.75 percent in suburban Cook County. All five Republican members of the County Board voted against the tax increase and they were joined by two of the twelve Democrats. Commissioners who voted against the tax increase were Peter N. Silvestri, Quigley, Claypool, Gregg Goslin, Timothy Schneider, Peraica, and Elizabeth Ann Doody Gorman. Despite the 133% increase, Dunnings stated on March 31, 2008, that the budget shortfall resolved that year is expected to return. She explained that the expected cost increase would be the result of what she described as a ‘structural deficit’, meaning increases in revenue being unable to match increases in expense, citing runaway health care costs among other problems. A county spokesman indicated that it would most likely happen in three or four years, well into the next county presidential term.

According to state election officials, in July 2008, Stroger’s campaign paid almost $27,000 in fines for failing to file paperwork in a timely manner. Paperwork was not filed on time for the 2006 election contributions it received along with late organization papers that were sent to the election board. The campaign also filed incomplete and late reports to the State Board of Elections during the week of July 21, 2008, so more fines are expected to be brought forth.

On the 18th of July in 2006 The Cook County Democratic Central Committee (a group of about 80 county Democratic party members, also known informally as “ward committeemen” or “township committeemen”) decided in a majority vote Todd Stroger to replace his father as the Democratic candidate for Cook County Board president for the November. 7 election. The next morning, Steele was unanimously elected by the Board as interim president.

Chicago Park District during the period that of Forrest Claypool.

In 2001, Stroger was selected to the position by the City Mayor Richard M. Daley to succeed Lorraine Dixon, who had passed away during her term as mayor. Stroger was a member of seven of the committees: Budget and government Operations; Committees, Rules, and Ethics; Housing and Real Estate; Human Relations; Police and Fire; Special Events and Cultural Affairs as well as Traffic Control and Safety.

Stroger also drew criticism when he began raising certain taxes in an effort to balance the county budget and resolve staffing issues. In September 2007, he voiced his support for a proposal to raise the county-wide sales tax to 11 percent (an additional two cents on the dollar) to remedy a $307 million budget deficit, which would force public facilities such as Stroger Hospital to cut services or even close. Critics of the plan included fellow Commissioners Claypool, Gorman, Peraica, and Mike Quigley who argued that spending cuts would accomplish the same purpose. Peraica additionally responded that Cook County’s poorest citizens, who the tax hike is ultimately designed to serve, would find it to be the most unaffordable. Peraica’s argument was seconded by then-Governor Rod Blagojevich, who expressed his opposition to the plan. Gorman was instrumental, however, in refusing to back down and she introduced a resolution to repeal the sales tax on three separate occasions, finally winning board majority support on the third effort.
