Two more Chicago inspectors charged with corruption

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Two more city inspectors were charged in an ongoing investigation into corruption in the city's Buildings Department.

To date, 10 city inspectors have been charged in various corruption cases on state and federal levels.

Federal indictments announced Friday charged two additional city inspectors, including plumbing inspector Eric Reyes, who is accused of lying to federal authorities about whether he asked another person to create a phony letter of intent. Letters of intent are supposed to ensure that a listed contractor is properly licensed.
Government can't insure your safety.That's for sure.
