Shirley Coleman, Former Alderman, Gets County Job, Loses It, Gets Another One

Former Alderman Gets A County Job, Gets Fired, Gets A New One

It was a series of moves that saw a former Chicago alderman go from having a job on the Cook County payroll to losing it to getting another county job -- all in the span of less than two months.

First, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle fired Shirley Coleman, a former colleague on the Chicago City Council. Then, she rehired her -- though at a cut in pay, records and interviews show.
