Chicago Alderman helps his kid get into top high school

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Ald. Ricardo Munoz (22nd) acknowledged Wednesday that his daughter was admitted to Whitney Young Magnet High School for the upcoming school year after he called the principal to ask that his daughter be allowed to follow in her brother's footsteps.

The self-styled reformer denied that his personal appeal placed undue pressure on Whitney Young Principal Joyce Kenner -- and he made no apologies for it.


In fact, the alderman disclosed that he makes "at least 10 to 15" calls every school year seeking similar treatment for the children of his constituents.

A taste of future Obamacare, everything will be constituent service.
