Mayor Daley's Chicago
Hmmm! Looks like some impropriety in Chicago's city government...
In the Chicago Sun-Times:
"Indicted Laski steps down as city clerk: "Federal prosecutors accused the clerk of taking bribes and obstructing justice after allegedly catching him on tape encouraging Mick and Traci Jones to lie to a grand jury and deny that, for years, they had been giving Laski $500 to $1,000 a month in exchange for the clerk's help in securing Hired Truck business for their trucking company, Get Plowed. Jones and his wife work in the city clerk's office."
"Two weeks later, Laski was formally indicted -- along with John Briatta, the brother-in-law of County Commissioner John Daley, the mayor's brother."
