(Chicago Sun Times) — The Cook County state’s attorney’s office is investigating about a dozen no-bid contracts approved by top aides to Cook County Board President Todd Stroger, including one handed to a private company owned by his embattled deputy chief of staff, Carla Oglesby, law enforcement sources have confirmed.
Two county employees and a political adviser to Todd Stroger tell the Chicago Sun-Times they’ve been questioned in recent weeks about the contracts by prosecutors in the state’s attorney’s Public Corruption and Financial Crimes Unit.
