Meanwhile - in Chicago
Just another day. I guess...
I found this at Chicago's WBBM780.com:
"Mayor Richard Daley today expressed regret for the hiring fraud scandal in his administration.
A day after a federal jury convicted his former Streets and Sanitation commissioner of corruption charges, the mayor read a statement at a news conference.
'I want to say to the people of Chicago that I understand this is a disappointment,' Daley said.
He said he knew the conviction does not reflect well on the city or his administration.
'For that, I am sorry,' Daley said.
The former commissioner, Al Sanchez, was found guilty of rigging hiring in favor of members of the Hispanic Democratic Organization, a pro-Daley patronage army created with the encouragement of top Daley political strategists."
