Cook County Assessor Joe Berrios says ethics board has no control over him

Posted: Updated:
CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -

Cook County Assessor Joe Berrios said the county's ethics rules don't apply to him.

Berrios was criticized earlier this week for hiring his son and sister to work for him.

The Cook County Ethics Board gave him a $10,000 fine and recommended that he fire his family members.

But Berrios released a statement Tuesday saying that the ethics board has control over the board president and commissioners - but not him.
