Did Chicago Pay For This Pool Light?

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

A $97,416-a-year Chicago Department of Transportation official who is the former son-in-law of mob leader Angelo "The Hook" LaPietra is under internal investigation for allegedly directing city crews under his command to install an alley light to illuminate his in-ground pool.

As assistant superintendent of laborers, Nicholas Calace, oversees an army of employees assigned to CDOT's Division of Electrical Operations, a bureau once housed in the Department of Streets and Sanitation.

You might ask how does someone related to "The Hook" get on the city of Chicago payroll? No word yet from Alderman Ed Burke on this one.
