Shortage in Cook County Clerk Records Sparks Probe
Chicago auditors found a county tax foreclosure fund shortage potentially exceeding a million dollars, linked to a broader pattern dating 1947–1954. State's Attorney Adamowski cites ties to past scandals, with $84,752 due in 1956 and $102,964 due during Paschen’s term—deficits arising from interest and penalties on real estate foreclosures. Two officials, Ernest Peterson and Milton Baer, were suspended amid inquiries.
