Obama-Daley "Friend" : 31 Year Old Sewage official with ties to Blago's Father In Law flush with deals

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

By his 28th birthday, Michael A. Alvarez — whose family is close to influential Chicago Ald. Richard Mell — already had worked for three powerful politicians: Richard M. Daley, Rod R. Blagojevich and Barack Obama.

Now, at 31, Alvarez’s political connections are helping provide him with an annual income topping $200,000 from three separate jobs in or involving government:

† He makes $70,000 a year as one of nine elected commissioners of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, the billion-dollar, government sewage-treatment agency that he hopes to lead after its longtime president, Terry O’Brien, retires in December.

† He has a $60,000-a-year public relations contract with the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority, the state agency that owns U.S. Cellular Field.

† And now he has a lucrative, fast-growing lobbying practice at City Hall — having first registered as a city lobbyist in July, six weeks after Rahm Emanuel was sworn in as mayor.

Two of Alvarez’s clients — Globetrotters Engineering Corp. and St. Anthony Hospital — have agreed to pay him a combined $120,000 a year, according to documents Alvarez has filed with the city. Fourteen other clients — including operators of the city’s parking meters and red-light cameras — have paid him a total of $39,000.
