Chicago Sun-Times -- July 3, 2009
County commissioners urged state authorities Thursday to shut down the Cook County Regional Education Office in the wake of a critical audit that revealed that Supt. Charles A. Flowers used a government credit card for personal expenses and approved questionable payments to relatives on his payroll.
The decision on what to do about the state-funded suburban education agency ultimately rests with the Illinois Legislature.
The Cook County Board's unanimous resolution Thursday urged the Legislature to transfer the duties now handled by the regional education office to the Illinois State Board of Education.
