(Chicago Tribune) — Thousands of Cook County employees will have to take online ethics training each year under an executive order issued Monday by County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. That will be a change from the past, when only about 500 elected officials, their staff and executive employees were required to take one-time ethics training, Preckwinkle said. More than 2,200 employees working under Preckwinkle, nearly 500 who work at the county’s forest preserves and about 6,700 employed by the public health system will have to take the training, she said. The training will make employees familiar with all county ethics rules.
