Because between his account and the Cook County Republican Central Committee the on-hand is
Cook County Rs: $3,057.32
Skoien’s: $266.13
Raised:
CCR $67,592.30
Skoien $818.50
Spent:
CCR: $68,389.34
Skoien: $918.50
Owed to Skoien
CCR $26000
Skoien: $16,605.93
Owed to Others
CCR $25,000
The Cook County Republican Central Committee is bankrupt without Skoien’s personal loans to it at this point. For those trying to make a conspiracy out of Skoien’s firing, let me point out that one guy with a bank account doesn’t threaten the Mayor. If anything the Mayor was annoyed by Skoien’s firing because it made his problems salient in the media instead of letting them fall away.
