Rahm Emanuel's Wal-Mart Investment Turns Up on Disclosure Form

The Chicago Tribune reports on Rahm Emanuel:

The report of Democratic Rep. Rahm Emanuel shows that a family member invested between $15,000 and $50,000 in Wal-Mart, the retail giant that has drawn the ire of those protesting its treatment of workers.

A spokesman for the congressman said the investments were made by Emanuel's wife, Amy Rule, with her income.

"She has some of her own individual assets, including this investment," said Emanuel spokesman Nick Papas.

Emanuel has urged Wal-Mart to release data on how much it paid its workers so Congress could investigate whether the company was unfairly paying women and minorities less money.

Remember this the next time Rahm Emanuel wants to talk about unions and Wal-Mart.
