The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
The police chief of Country Club Hills, who with her husband earns more than $200,000 courtesy of city taxpayers, apparently is broke.They have such high standards in government! Anyway, in the Chicagoland area, a good portion of the voting public feels more secure with only police officer carrying handguns. Some Illinois voters feel the police have mystical powers of reason and control that regular citizens don't have.
Thanks to a series of failed business decisions from theaters they ran on Chicago’s South Side and in south suburban Dolton, Regina Evans and her husband, Ronald Evans, the inspector general of the city of 16,000, have declared personal bankruptcy.
By the time Regina Evans, a retired Chicago police lieutenant, was hired in 2009 by Mayor Dwight Welch, she already was deeply in debt. By the time her husband, also a former Chicago cop, joined her on the public payroll in 2010 in a job that tasks him with investigating her and at least one other relative working for the city, the couple had filed for bankruptcy reorganization of their business, The Prime Time Group.
In filings from March, they said owe $4.5 million. They claimed assets of a checking account with $400.
