Chicago Sun-Times: Rahm's 'Mini-Rahm' A Close Advisor - "he wants to turn off the water after each dish. The environment is critical to him"

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

On the day in June 2011 when civil unions became legal in Illinois, Mayor Rahm Emanuel performed one of Chicago’s first for the man who would become his alter ego at City Hall.

Then-chief policy adviser David Spielfogel legally cemented his decadelong partnership with Lee Crandell, then a top official at the Active Transportation Alliance, which shares the mayor’s affinity for bike lanes, bike-sharing and pedestrian-friendly streets.

“We had had a very, very long engagement. We were tired of waiting. I told [Emanuel] we were very excited to do it, and he said he would love to, so we took him up on it,” said Spielfogel, 36, who has since been promoted to senior adviser to the mayor.

“It was maybe 15 minutes, and we were in a meeting immediately back to work,” he said.

Welcome to the workaholic world of Rahm Emanuel’s go-to guy.

Chicago: from working class city to.... this.
