Convicted Former Chicago alderman Tyrone Kenner dies at 76

AP reports:

Tyrone Kenner, a former Chicago alderman convicted of taking bribes, has died at age 76.

Kenner's daughter, Renee Kenner-Clay, says he died of complications from diabetes Monday at a hospital in the Chicago suburb of Evergreen Park.

Kenner was a Chicago police officer before a successful run in 1971 for alderman of a South Side ward. In 1983, a federal grand jury indicted him on charges of taking bribes in exchange for getting people jobs with the Cook County sheriff's office.
