The Obama, Jarrett & Daley 350K Triangle
Jeff Berkowitz: A loving husband to be [Barack Obama] being concerned about his spouse… [To be, then known as Michelle Robinson, taking a job with the City of Chicago, interviewed by Valerie Jarrett, Barack] wants to interview with Jarrett, he wants to give an opinion [about the job to Michelle]; there is nothing wrong with that, right?
Cook County Cmsr. Tony Peraica [R-Riverside]: There is one degree of separation among all of the political players in the City and the County, let alone within the subset on the south side political scene
Berkowitz: So, Michelle Robinson goes to work with Valerie Jarrett, implicitly in the Daley Administration
Tony Peraica: Well, you know, Valerie Jarrett is now head of the University of Chicago hospitals and …President-Elect Obama’s wife Michelle is, as you know, an employee of the University of Chicago hospital system.
Jeff Berkowitz: Which she was, yeah.
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: I believe she still is, unless she resigned
Jeff Berkowitz: ….She was for quite some time. She was once an employee making $130,000/year and then it went up.
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: It went to $350,000
Jeff Berkowitz: Well, she [Michelle Obama] became more valuable. Her contacts became more important [Barack Obama was elected to the U. S. Senate].
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: I’m sure that’s the case.
Jeff Berkowitz: There’s nothing wrong with that.
It’s the political office as a family heirloom, stupid.
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: There’s nothing wrong with any of it on its face, but if you look below the surface, there are all these troubling relationships where certain individuals are picking others and bringing them along and giving them cushy positions, whether it is in the hospital, non-profit sector or for profit sector, whether it is at the Habitat, whether it is at the City [of Chicago], whether it is at any of the city’s agencies and there is this cross pollination that in a culture of corruption brings about these kind of unhealthy relationships in a one sided, one party [Democratic] system that we have here in Cook County in the State of Illinois. So, all of that contributes to the culture of corruption that we find ourselves in now which is going to receive national and international attention for the next months and years ahead of us.
Jeff Berkowitz: So, now we get into the Illinois Democratic Party, right? Where offices are family heirlooms, right?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: That’s right.
Jeff Berkowitz: That’s what we are talking about, really.
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: It’s aristocracy, at it best, yes.
******************************
Daley to Daley, Madigan to Madigan and McKenna to McKenna: the Chicago Way?
Jeff Berkowitz: …Where did Andy McKenna, Jr. get the money to give to people? Did he get it from his paper route?
Tony Peraica: No, I assume he got it from his McKenna family business, Schwartz Paper Company
Jeff Berkowitz: Which his father started [with two other businessmen].
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: Correct.
Jeff Berkowitz: Which Andy is now President of and his father is Chairman.
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: That’s right.
Jeff Berkowitz: Would Andy have that position if his name were Smith, Wychowski or whatever?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: Perhaps, but probably unlikely.
Jeff Berkowitz: Probably unlikely. All I’m saying here, and we’re not going after Andy McKenna, Jr.; we’re just saying families help people in their families. Daley to Daley. Madigan to Madigan and McKenna to McKenna.
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: Hm. Hm.
McKenna: State GOP Chairman for Life?
Jeff Berkowitz: Mckenna, Jr. has been there [IL State GOP Chairman] for four years. Has he performed well in ’04 [as a U. S. Senate Primary Candidate, 14% of the vote, 4.5 million dollars spent], ’06 or ’08 [as a State GOP Chairman]?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: The party performance, judging by the outcome in these election cycles, has been dismal.
Jeff Berkowitz: All right. So, should McKenna, Jr. stay there?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: I think we need a change in the leadership of the Republican Party at the State level, without a doubt.
Jeff Berkowitz: So your answer is no, he shouldn’t stay there. Is that right?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: Correct.
Jeff Berkowitz: I am just trying to be a little bit fair here, and as I say it is not against Andy McKenna, Jr., it is just--
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: No, Andy is a wonderful gentleman…I know his wife Mary, that has nothing to do—
Jeff Berkowitz: But, he didn’t give you a—he didn’t lift a finger…when you were running for State’s Attorney of Cook County to help you, right?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: I did not receive the kind of help—
Jeff Berkowitz: No, come on, the word was he didn’t lift a finger to help you…
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: I did not get the help from Chairman McKenna or-
Not a dollar for Peraica from McKenna?
Jeff Berkowitz: Did you get a dollar from McKenna, Jr. to help you in your State’s Attorney campaign?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: No, I did not.
Jeff Berkowitz: Not one dollar.
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: Correct.
Jeff Berkowitz: You can’t feel too fondly of the guy, right?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: Look, it’s politics. I don’t take any of it personally. If you are asking me if I think we need a change, I do.
DuPage County Chairman Cronin taking out Peraica?
Jeff Berkowitz: When Dan Cronin came after you a week before the election [Nov. 4, 2008], State Senator Dan Cronin [DuPage County Chairman] and said he is going to reform the GOP—he is going to do things in Cook County
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: Fascinating, isn’t it?
Jeff Berkowitz: And, he was asked if Tony Peraica would be a part of it, and he said no, right?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: That’s correct.
Jeff Berkowitz: So, you want to thank, publicly, Dan Cronin for helping you out in that last week?
Cronin and Schillerstrom: Reviving the Daley Ryan Combine?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: Dan Cronin did not help me out and I don’t foresee him helping me out and I find it amazing that he would be concerned about the Cook County Republican Party when the DuPage Republican Party that he is the Chairman of is devastated. Look at the performance in the last couple of cycles by the DuPage Republican Party. I have some troubling concerns by Chairman Cronin and Mr. Schillerstrom out there and others who are, I think, too cozy with the mayor of this City, Mayor Daley, in trying to have regional control in a bi-partisan Combine.
Jeff Berkowitz: They call that the Illinois Combine?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: Yes.
Jeff Berkowitz: It used to be the Daley-Ryan Combine. Daley as in Mayor Richard M. Daley.
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: That’s right.
Jeff Berkowitz: Ryan as in Governor George Ryan, who now resides in prison.
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: That’s right.
Durbin and Thompson working hand in hand?
Jeff Berkowitz: [Former Governor] Jim Thompson, from Winston and Strawn, which represented George Ryan [in the public corruption and fraud case that Ryan lost and resulted in his going to prison].
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: [Winston and Strawn] represented Blagojevich [who once was thought to be a Dem. VP possibility] until he ran out of money.
Jeff Berkowitz: Jim Thompson [who long ago was thought to be Republican VP material, and who served on the 9/11 Commission] is trying to help George Ryan get a commutation from President Bush, right?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: Right.
Jeff Berkowitz: Senator Dick Durbin [No. 2 Democrat in the U. S. Senate] is trying to help [with the George Ryan commutation].
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: That’s right.
Jeff Berkowitz: Isn’t it wonderful how Democrats and Republicans can always work so collegially in this state?
Cleansing the IL Republican Party?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: Well, these are perfect examples of the Illinois Combine working across partisan lines to help themselves and those who are—
Jeff Berkowitz: So, Republicans are part of it still.
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: No question.
Jeff Berkowitz: George Ryan’s gone [for the time being], but they are still part of it. How do you cleanse the Republican Party of this?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: It is up to the people of Illinois in local elections and county elections to stand up for those who represent reform, openness, transparency, honest government and not to vote instinctively for people who have acted contrary to those principles, time after time.

Creative legal theories of Illinois AG Lisa Madigan
Jeff Berkowitz: …Rod Blagojevich is arrested…the people of Illinois have a chance, right?
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: That’s correct.
Jeff Berkowitz: A chance to correct this, right.
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: There’s always a chance…
Jeff Berkowitz: …Blagojevich has been arrested, people are saying he is ineffective, one would think he would be impeached…but no, the Attorney General Lisa Madigan says no, that’s not such a good thing—she wants the Illinois Supreme Court to declare that [Blagojevich] is incompetent—mentally, physically, whatever from carrying out his duties [as Governor]. [AG Madigan’s motion] would be a perversion of the law, right…
Cmsr. Tony Peraica: It would be. [Ed. Note: subsequent to the taping of this show on Dec. 14, 2008, the Illinois Supreme Court dismissed Attorney General Madigan’s suit without comment].
Jeff Berkowitz: Why does [AG Madigan] want to do that? Why does she not favor impeachment?
