Dick Simpson: Expert in the News

Dick Simpson, professor, in the Department of Political Science and former Chicago alderman, frequently appears as a featured expert in news stories covering state and city government, politics and corruption. In recent media coverage, the Chicago Sun-Times cites comments from Simpson in an editorial about Ald. Howard Brookins hiring former Cook County Board President Todd Stroger.

A 2012 corruption report co-authored by Simpson is referenced in a Chicago Tribune editorial by Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, who wrote about his office's role as an independent watchdog for several local communities.
