Money is the lifeblood of politics and government. How elected officials spend the money entrusted to them can give insight into whether that trust is being honored or abused.You'll want to read this one about Boss Madigan's right hand man Marty Quinn.
Chicago Alderman Marty Quinn (13th Ward) has made numerous questionable and illegal purchases with his aldermanic expense account and blurred the line between an attentive official working to solve constituents needs and an elected leader using tax dollars and city property to serve their political needs.
A two-part investigation by Project Six shows how Alderman Quinn, Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office and Speaker Madigan have misused taxpayer resources and broken city laws around aldermanic spending and the use of city equipment.
