Mayor Daley's son had secret deal

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Mayor Daley’s son Patrick had a hidden interest in a sewer-inspection company whose business with the City of Chicago rose sharply while he was an owner, a Chicago Sun-Times investigation has found.

Patrick Daley invested in Municipal Sewer Services in June 2003, along with Robert Vanecko, a nephew of the mayor. The pair cashed out their small investment about a year later, as federal investigators were swarming City Hall in the early days of the Hired Truck scandal.


Municipal Sewer Services had partnered with a Hired Truck company in the sewer cleaning program.

It’s unclear how much money Patrick Daley and his cousin made from the city contracts, which were signed by the mayor. Five months after they became owners, the company got a $3 million contract extension from the city.

The Daley family likes high taxes and government spending: it's the road to riches for those in the lucky sperm club.Looks like someone violated a city ordinance.
