Democrats Wave Rules For 1%- Chicago Park District waived rules for Lucas-Hobson bash

The Chicago Tribune reports:

When "Star Wars" creator George Lucas and Chicago businesswoman Mellody Hobson chose Promontory Point for their late-June wedding celebration, the Chicago Park District set aside its rule book and paved the way, literally, for the power couple's star-studded bash. Records from the event and other celebrations at the popular lakefront venue reveal that the filmmaker and his well-connected bride were allowed to skirt a number of policies that the Park District refused to bend for ordinary renters. While charging a rental fee of nearly $100,000, officials waived rules governing event hours, caterers and restrooms for the couple, whose party planner also paid for a paint job and asphalt work near the party site, according to records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

George Lucas sure is special!
