Another Federal Grand Jury Investigates the City of Chicago's Government Workers

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
A federal grand jury is demanding records from City Hall regarding injury claims of city workers, a move that comes two weeks after the Sun-Times reported Chicago patronage workers claim to be hurt at a rate that exceeds the nation's most dangerous jobs.

Grand jurors have issued a subpoena to the City Council Finance Committee, headed by Ald. Edward M. Burke, seeking an array of records on injured city workers, many who have been off work for years and collecting disability checks.
Those government workers in Chicago sure are amazing.
