All of these promotions and increased salaries amidst 300 plus layoffs just a couple of months ago. Where did they get the money from?

Also, wasn't Johanna O'Neil, Epp's traveling "companion" on that London romp of a few years back. Guess she's finally getting paid for it.

Well it's not like he tried to sell Obama's senate seat. If that's not illegal (according to some lunatic post-menopausal Chicago grandmother), then Healy taking cash for favors should be worthy of commendation for bringing $ into JC in these harsh financial times. (again, read with sarcasm).

+1

still do not understand how Healy escaped prosecution. the man is on freaking tape thanking Dwek for 10K.

I certainly hope they were all given both promotional and merit raises. . .

(please re-read again with extreme sarcasm).

The schools suck. OK, so let's have the head sucker promote some cronies. And let's pay 'em more money. Awesome. Go team Healy! (minus whoever got indicted). So, I guess, go Healy! Please, just go . . .
