Paid in Prison?

It sure must be nice to be this connected:

• After his third conviction for drunken driving, city laborer John LaGiglio was sentenced to one year in Stateville Prison.

  But that didn't stop him from keeping his $30-an-hour city job thanks to a heavy dose of timekeeping fraud, according to a report by city Inspector General Joe Ferguson.

  Ferguson is recommending LaGiglio be fired for using a combination of sick days, vacation days and personal days to serve his two-month prison sentence.

And they kept it quiet for five years.
