About this Article

Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios maintains he's done nothing wrong and observed the Shakman Decree on political hiring in largely overhauling the personnel in his new office. Confirming that Shakman attorneys have raised objections about as many as 27 hirings and firings, a Berrios spokeswoman said the newly elected assessor feels “very confident” the personnel moves have been legal and aboveboard.
