Patronage Operation in Cook County's Prosecutors Office? Alvarez campaign accepts donations from 60 workers

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Fabio Valentini is one of the top prosecutors for Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez.

Jack Garcia runs Alvarez’s investigative squad, which consists of 100 or so police officers.

Raymond Balcarcel is the chief financial officer for the entire agency.


Aside from sharing the same boss, they have something else in common: They’re all donors to Alvarez’s campaign fund.

Imagine that.
