It may have been a big blunder, but there was nothing nefarious going on when Cook County double counted $90 million in revenue during the last fiscal year under former County Board President Todd Stroger.
That’s according to Cook County Inspector General Patrick Blanchard, who released a report on his investigation in to the matter yesterday.
“The evidence developed during the course of this investigation does not support a contention that Cook County employees intended to commit accounting fraud,” the report says.
