- A developer with ties to a number of Chicago politicians was convicted Thursday of bribing an alderman, propelling forward a federal investigation into how development works inside City Hall.
The jury found that Calvin Boender provided nearly $38,000 in home improvements in 2004 to then-Ald. Isaac "Ike" Carothers to earn Carothers' crucial support for a multimillion-dollar residential and commercial development.
[...] The jury, which deliberated for a day, found Boender guilty on all counts: one count of bribery, two counts of illegal campaign contributions and two counts of obstructing justice. He is free on $500,000 bail but will now be placed on electronic monitoring.
Congressman Luis Gutierrez was the recipient of a $200,000 loan from this guy. Anyone know if the note ever got paid off? And will Gutierrez face any investigation from his US House Committees?
Daley also met secretly with the feds in a downtown hotel during this investigation. And then there's the actual committee vote that altered the zoning.
But this whole thing looks like it may just die out.
