Former Chicago alderman pleads guilty in third corruption case

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Now that former Ald. Ambrosio Medrano has pleaded guilty in a third corruption case, he thinks he should go to prison for about two years — maybe less.

Federal prosecutors want to send him away for 20.
There's more:
The former alderman, 59, had already secured his place in Chicago’s political hall of shame last June when he became the first current or former member of the City Council convicted in two separate, prior corruption cases.
History being made by Cook County Democrats.
