Federal Prosecutors Show Physical Danger in Chicago Patronage Hires

The Chicago Tribune reports on Daley patronage army hack Denise Alcantar on the witness stand:

Federal prosecutors asked her how a woman with no experience driving a truck would be given such a job.

"We were having a political meeting [for HDO]," she said of the meetings at the biker bar. "And there was an application on the table and I filled it out and placed it back on the table."

Did you have any truck-driving experience?

"No," she said.
