COOK- When complaints and allegations about Cook Housing and Rehabilitation Authority Executive Director Reed Erickson were aired by four disgruntled tenants at the May 27 meeting of the Cook City Council, Erickson wasn’t there to respond.
However, Erickson and Housing Manager Paula Erickson agreed to meet with the Timberjay recently to share their reactions to some of the major issues raised at the council meeting. The issues were all familiar to the Ericksons – whether at board meetings or city council or in communications with local media and government officials, a small group of individuals have been voicing their complaints for more than a year. The Ericksons have responded before, with no success in quelling the tenants’ discontent.
