- Mayor Daley did not mince words when asked if the negative story about Michael Scott's potential financial interest could cast a cloud over the city's chances for 2016.
"Why would anybody write that story without checking the facts? You check the facts. He never had an interest. None whatsoever," Daley said.
The Tribune reported a Scott lead team had support from various alderman to develop city owned vacant lots near Douglas Park, which would also double as the cycling venue if Chicago is named the host city.
Never had a monetary interest, maybe.
But he advised a team of reverends (with aldermanic support) on how to make a pile of money by greasing the skids to an insider deal of immense proportions. These reverends (who end up campaigning for aldercreatures, mayors, county board reps and even governors) might have some vested interest in making sure that their "adviser" isn't bumped out of his cushy spot - or moved to a cushier spot.
You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours - otherwise known as "quid pro quo" Chicago-style. And all done at taxpayer expense.
