Free Water For Mayor Daley's Pal: Chicago Mob Linked Fred Bruno Barbara Gets Another Sweet Deal

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Two decades ago, the city's Streets and Sanitation Department began leasing a block-long garage in Chinatown, in Chicago's notorious 1st Ward.

The landlord: Fred Bruno Barbara, a nephew of the late 1st Ward Ald. Fred Roti.

Streets and San moved out by early 2005, when Barbara -- a friend of Mayor Daley -- got caught up in the Hired Truck scandal.

But Barbara's garage and two adjoining buildings that he owns kept getting free water from City Hall -- until three months ago, when a Chicago Sun-Times reporter asked the Daley administration why it was treating Barbara's garage as a "charitable account.''

For more on this real life Chicago fairy tale, or should we say blood strained eugenics project? No word yet, on this story , from Rahm Emanuel who was elected to Congress with the help of the Roti family patronage operation.
