The Cook County Workers' Compensation Committee met on September 23, 2026, with all members present. After public comment, the committee unanimously approved the minutes from the July 15, 2026 meeting and a slate of 22 settlement items recommended by the State's Attorney's Office before adjourning.
Let's see. We are here to recall the Cook County Workers' Compensation Committee. Madam Secretary, do we still have a quorum? Chairman, you do have a quorum. We will add Commissioner Vasquez to the role. All members are present. There is a quorum. Thank you. Madam Secretary, are there any public speakers or changes to the agenda? You had a number of speakers. I don't see them all in the room, so let me revisit. Can come to the public speaking mic. Jessica Jackson is not in the room. Neither is Jackie Sample or George Blakemore. So Jessica. Or you guys allocated for illegal aliens. And now y'all are gonna have all these health people here, doctors and stuff like that. When y'all don't even want to discuss Loreto Hospital and how much money y'all was funneling and laundering into that West Side Hospital. Like y'all, you know, to say that it was interesting. It's interesting how you guys are so corrupt. It's interesting how y'all take these oaths. Y'all take these oaths and continue to commit crimes. The fact that y'all take the bar exam and come out of the bar, come out of law school, get a job with the machine, and continue to keep the machine going. I mean, y'all, I don't understand how y'all can sleep at night, but like I said, majority of y'all on cocaine, alcoholics, cheaters. I mean, everything that you just hide underneath this politician, elected official because y'all still elections, election integrity. Y'all know who are gonna get in, you know. But y'all could try to take Danielle Carter Walters. You can try to play the play play this game because Brandon's not getting back in. And Tony Preckwinkle also has somebody going against her too. A libertarian. Y'all always people always come to me about Chicago Flips Red. They always say, Zoe, why you guys just didn't go independent? Because we're not ready to go independent. However, the libertarians, they're on the rise. And maybe you guys should look up the person who was going against Tony Preckwinkle. Tony Preckwinkle is 80-something. Well, she's 78, 79. She is she she's she she barely can walk. You guys literally are holding on to her position so y'all can give it to someone else to continue the corruption. 400,000 people didn't vote for Tony Preckwinkle, and y'all know it. When she went against uh Lori Lightfoot, and nobody even knows who big suit Lori Lightfoot was at that time. Lori Lifer got 300,000 votes just out the city, and she only got a hundred thousand votes. And she was a career politician. She came from the Came as a CPS teacher, then Alderman, and then y'all brought her all over here. So we know that y'all are cheating when it comes to these elections. But it's a new generation, and I say we're not going. I'm definitely not going. I built my own political machine to advocate for the people who cannot come in here and watch you guys continue to commit crimes and then blame it on everybody else but y'all selves. Y'all blame it on the police. Y'all blame on the Cook County Sheriffs, y'all blame it on everybody.
