As a Chicago native, this gives me no end of amusement.

Richie Daley's father would never have fallen for this. He'd send the Building inspectors to that company's offices every 4 hours, finding a new and very serious violation each time. Or something.



Daley didn't get fleeced. It was a sweetheart deal since he and his allies got a bunch of stuff from CPM and friends. It was the taxpayers that got fleeced.

A few weeks after the deal went down, Daley got a job at the law firm that negotiated the deal: http://theexpiredmeter.com/2011/06/daley-takes-job-with-park...


You're talking about a guy who was so corrupt he destroyed an airport in the middle of the night.


By far the best thing he ever did


Please be more vague


Huh? I'm not being vague in the slightest.

Daley bulldozed the runway at Meigs Airfield in the dead of night.

I don't think he could send building inspectors to Saudi Arabia.


Mayor Daley (his first name was "Mayor") would find some way.
