Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx is facing questions as her office continues to see a high rate of turnover, with hundreds of staffers leaving in just over a year.
Staffing isn’t just an issue in Bridgeview. The State’s Attorney is facing shortages in Felony Review, Special Prosecutions, Civil, Sex Crimes, Juvenile, Domestic Violence and Traffic courts as well.
Another experienced former assistant Cook County State’s Attorney – who quit last year – and has asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, shared their story with NBC 5. “Everyone is at their breaking point,” the employee said. “If you don’t do what’s on her agenda, you find yourself in an awful experience. needs to resign.”“We asked for feedback, ‘tell us what you hear, what you feel’ and people told us there are some who are not aligned with the mission and vision of the office,” she said. “I hear the feedback from hundreds of people in the office. They’re disgusted, and they can’t take it anymore,” he said.
Another complaint from former staffers is Foxx and her executive staff do not come to the office on a regular basis, but rather work mostly from home. Foxx says she’s looking forward to returning to routines once the COVID pandemic winds down, but was noncommittal about when that would occur.
