CHICAGO (WBBM) — A spokesman for the town of Cicero says the town plans to take away health benefits from the 88-year-old mother of former Town President President Betty Loren-Maltese.
Betty Loren-Maltese just arrived at her new home yesterday, following six-and-a-half years in prison. Her new home is a halfway house in Chicago.
While Loren-Maltese and her daughter may still get health insurance benefits from the town of Cicero, her elderly mother Kitty Loren probably will get hers taken away, says Cicero Town Spokesman Ray Hanania.
“Kitty is such a nice woman. She, I think, is kind of a victim in all this. She’s been forthright to talk with some officials in the town, and I think she understands and will not be surprised that we will probably have to suspend that insurance.”
Hanania says Kitty Loren was not an elected official and it appears the health benefits were set up for her improperly by Betty Loren-Maltese.
Hanania says it appears Cicero cannot do anything about the benefits that Loren-Maltese herself is still receiving.
