Daley joins law firm that negotiated parking-meter deal for the City

Crain's Chicago Business reports:

Former Mayor Richard M. Daley has joined Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, the law firm that negotiated the controversial lease deal to privatize Chicago's parking meters.

"They're a well-managed group of talented professionals. They have an innovative yet practical approach to helping clients accomplish their goals and they are expanding globally," Mr. Daley, who will be of counsel at the firm, said in a release from Katten Muchin.

The firm has done work for years with the city and also has on board one of Mr. Daley's close friends, Terry Newman, another rainmaker for the firm.

Mr. Daley, who was mayor for more than 22 years — and retired last month in case you didn't know — will serve in a similar role as Mr. Newman.

Plundering Chicago's taxpayers for fun and for profit.
