A video production company tied to Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown's husband reportedly received nearly $90,000 over a four-year period to do work for Brown's campaign.

From August 2006 to October 2010, Brown's campaign paid a total of $89,370 to Gideon Video Productions, which was run out of the home of Benton Cook III, who married Brown in September of 2009.

Brown appears to have been Gideon Video Productions' sole client. Additionally, the video production firm reportedly did not have a state of Illinois, Chicago or Cook County business license. Neither Cook's lawyer nor a spokesperson for Brown issued a comment to the newspaper.

Cook worked for Gideon Video Productions before he received $146,401 of some $2.1 million in public funds that Chicago's West Garfield Park neighborhood got in 2011 and 2012 as part of the Neighborhood Recovery Initiative (NRI), a controversial anti-crime program spearheaded by Gov. Pat Quinn's administration that is now disbanded and under federal and Cook County probes. Cook received the more than $146,000 for working as the program coordinator for the Chicago Area Project, which was was tasked with divvying up public money for anti-crime initiatives in West Garfield Park.
