O'Hare has been a golden goose of possibilities for well-connected businesses and politicians. In the last year, Mayor Daley's own Inspector General David Hoffman has, according to published reports, been probing contracts and political connections out at O'Hare.
And now we learn the feds have in their clutches former Daley aide and Blagojevich chief of staff John Harris, who -- guess what? -- did two tours of duty for the mayor out at O'Hare. Harris was arrested on Dec. 9. The Kelly indictment spans airport work from 1998-2006.
Where was John Harris during some of those years? In 1999, the mayor named him first deputy commissioner of aviation overseeing the "future of O'Hare," the project manager for "design, financing and construction."
Harris might still give up the entire inner circle on this O'Hare contracting scandal. Keep watching this one.
