- When convicted mob bookmaker Carl Dote was interviewed on the popular WTTW-Channel 11 show "Check, Please!" about Danny's, the restaurant he runs in Melrose Park, there were a few things he made clear: [...] "I'm the owner," Dote said in the unedited version of the interview, adding that his wife, Paula, was the co-owner.
But when it came to the forms needed to get a liquor license, Dote -- a twice-convicted felon for illegal gambling -- isn't listed as owner. In fact, his name is nowhere to be found.
Felons typically can't obtain a liquor license.
But officials in Melrose Park and in Des Plaines, which hopes to be home to a new casino, don't appear to be overly troubled.
No one ever seems to be troubled when Outfit figures suddenly find themselves within one-degree of separation from all sorts of things that they shouldn't be near - liquor licenses, casino licenses, adult entertainment licenses, police brass, city council members, construction firms, municipal contracts, mayor's brothers, mayor's sons, mayors themselves, etc.
It's kind of interesting to those who actually pay attention.
