Uniform accounting bill to reform Cook County offices
The Illinois Legislature sent a Brundage backed measure to the governor to standardize fee office accounting in Cook County and create an auditor position with broad access to books. The bill, passed without dissent, would empower the auditor to install forms and supervise records, addressing past disclosure of misused fees and incomes. A similar Senate bill also advances, aiming to solidify the auditing framework. Chicago real estate men and bankers pressed for a separate measure to allow corporations to own land, arguing the burden of land costs and the need for new plants and sites in crowded districts.
