Former Chicago Clerk: Former Congressman Lipinski Had Ghost Payrollers

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

The former clerk also implicated former Congressman Bill Lipinski, Laski's mentor-turned-nemesis, even more deeply in the ghost payrolling that went on during Laski's days as 23rd Ward alderman.

Laski said he hired a handful of employees at the congressmen's direction who did remodeling work at Lipinski's home and congressional office.

Laski was Lipiniski's former chief-of-staff and succeeded Lipinski as alderman. But he was kicked out of Lipinski's 23rd Ward Regular Democratic Organization after leading City Council rebellions against consecutive property tax increases proposed by Daley.

Lipinski, Reyes and Huels could not be reached for comment.

Former Congressman Lipinski couldn't be reached when someone accused him of breaking the law.Doesn't the former Congressman care that someone said that in print?
