Maybe a bargain at $18,250

One thing Senate President Emil Jones will be remembered for his is unfailing (others call it silly and politically motivated) support for Chicago State University. Just two weeks before Jones announced his retirement, the Chicago Tribune disclosed that former CSU President Elnora Daniel spent $18,250 on a coffee table book about herself. Such profligate spending was the norm at Chicago State under Daniel.

The good thing about Elnora Daniel's recently published tribute to herself is that, thankfully, she stopped at only 400 books. That kept the price of the 52-page vanity book to a bargain basement price of $18,250.
