Emanuel moves to ban McMahon electric company from city work

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Mayor Rahm Emanuel is proposing to permanently ban an electrical contracting company with ties to Ald. Edward M. Burke (14th) from getting city work because its owners and their husbands allegedly operated phony women- and minority-owned companies that have gotten millions of dollars in city contracts.

Emanuel revealed Tuesday that his procurement department on Feb. 24 sent “notices of proposed debarment” to Windy City Electric Co. and four members of the politically connected McMahon family, including Anthony P. McMahon, a top precinct captain for Burke’s ward organization.

Rahm goes after Boss Burke's network.
