>He has, for example, thoughts about introducing technologies…..<BR/><BR/>BTW. Does Todd Stroger really know anything about technology at all? Does he have in his head anything like a data object model that would address the functions and needs of the county health care system? Does he even have his own computer?<BR/><BR/>Or does he just have “visions.”

Mr. Fagus, what about 'selling out' a whole ward to Todd Stroger? What about the hiring freeze? What about the illegal campaign tactics we've witnessed? <BR/>Since you avoided me at the Allegro farce, can you continue to avoid me and the other voters? Cussing isn't as 'inappropriate' as misappropriation of funds or stacking an election is it?
