on the Cook County Board of Review, a three-member elected body that hears appeals to property tax assessments. But what would be a celebratory occasion for the winning candidate is clouded by a lawsuit filed by her former campaign strategist, who alleges the candidate failed to pay her thousands of dollars.
Williams’ suit said she is also due a $15,000 “win” bonus now that Steele has prevailed in the election.A worker walks through the lobby to the entrance of the Cook County Board of Review at the Cook County Building on April 7, 2022. According to the suit filed in Cook County Circuit Court last week, Steele hired Williams and her company, Oasis Strategies, to consult for her campaign in February. The suit says Steele authorized Williams to issue checks on behalf of the campaign to pay for her own monthly fees and reimburse herself for campaign-related expenses that Williams incurred.
“Immediately” after, the suit alleges, Steele put a “stop payment” order on that $5,000 check and “instructed her campaign’s bank to reverse payment on three previous checks” worth more than $14,000 dating back to April “based the false claim that these checks were ‘altered / fictitious.’”
