I ran across this blog post this morning. It appears that it is business as usual in Chicago. I am thankful that the media is beginning to shine some light on corruption in Chicago City Government.

Chicago Officals Caught with Hand in Cookie Jar …. Again

I was shocked last night as I watched the local Chicago Fox News 10:00 PM news broadcast of a story of the continued abuse by elected officials in Chicago, Il. Fox News should be praised for having a reporter take the time to go through the mountain of misc. expenses of Chicago’s Aldermen and uncover the “questionable” expenses.

The highlights were $1500 for lawn care for one Alderman to the company of one of her poltical supporters; the paying of one Alderman’s subscription to the magazine of the Communist Party of the United States; and the hiring of of a magician for an event for the Alderman.

The news report points out that many of these expenses were paid without question.

If you would like to view the news report please click here.

The taxpayers of Chicago deserve better.

Stay tuned as the reporter promised to reveal the political expenses of Aldermen that were paid for with your tax dollars. I will bring you his report as soon as it is aired.
