WBEZ reports:
Just days before voters decide whether they want Chicago Ald. “Proco” Joe Moreno to keep his seat in Chicago’s City Council, he’s facing a potentially damaging sexual harassment complaint from a former aide.
Belia Portillo, who handled social-media accounts for Moreno in 2014 and 2015, says he made highly inappropriate comments to staff who gathered at a bar after the gay pride parade on the North Side.
Now 27 and years removed from her time in government and politics, Portillo told WBEZ that Moreno said to her and other aides at the 2015 gathering, “OK, we’re gonna have a contest. Everyone’s gonna have to take off their shirts. The girls can keep their bras on. And if your body is better than mine, then you get a raise.”
There's more:
She also alleges that Moreno and his top aides made her do political work while she was at her taxpayer-funded, government job -- under the pretext that she momentarily “clocked out” from her day job to do political tasks.
Will Alderman Moreno get indicted because
Alderman Danny Solis was wearing a wire on him?
