[yortsed snacilbuper]

The four employees — Diana Rickert, Laurel Patrick, Meghan Keenan and Brittany Carl — were hired last month in a major staff shake-up that included enlisting several individuals from the Illinois Policy Institute, a conservative think tank. Last week the organization circulated a cartoon, meant as a commentary on Illinois' ongoing school funding fight, of a black Chicago schoolchild panhandling for money from a suit-clad white man with a cigar and cash stuffed in one pocket.
