$44,256 to check email? Feds balk in case tied to Daley son

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

A big Chicago law firm is demanding $44,256 for a search of emails that a federal agency wanted in a case involving Cardinal Growth, a venture capital firm tied to former Mayor Richard M. Daley’s son, Patrick Daley. The U.S. Small Business Administration says taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay, and it’s fighting the bill in federal court.

Mayor Daley and family still can make news.
