They Keep Taking Bribes in Chicago

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Mayor Daley's reforms of the Hired Truck Program didn't stop a high-ranking Streets and Sanitation supervisor from allegedly taking payoffs from Hired Truck companies.

Neither, apparently, did the arrests of 10 people charged in the investigation.

Robert Ricciarelli just kept on taking and taking, prosecutors alleged Friday, charging him with one count of mail fraud.
Government as a conspiracy.The Chicago way.
