Speaking of Chicago, ex-Chicago public school chief - steered contracts worth $2.3 million
[ In Reply To ..]
of public money in kickback. She pleads guilty.
The indictment alleges that Byrd-Bennett expected to receive kickbacks worth ten per cent of the value of the no-bid contracts, or about $2.3million.
It's unclear how much money was set aside for her, though the indictment says two trust accounts tied to her relatives - identified only as Relatives A and B - were set up to help hide the money.
The relatives were revealed by sources as Byrd-Bennett's twin grandsons, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The money was set aside for college funds, emails included in the indictment suggest.
The company's owners, Gary Soloman and Thomas Vranas, are accused of offering her money - including plotting to place $127,000 into each of the two accounts set up under her relatives' names - along with sporting event tickets and other kickbacks in exchange for contracts.
Fardon said that Byrd-Bennett never pocketed any of the money and that she and Solomon had discussed destroying their emails. 'I think those emails reflect greed,' he told the Chicago Sun-Times. 'I think they reflect a public official who compromised her integrity and the integrity of her professional responsibility by looking to line her own pocket.'
Soloman's attorney released a statement saying his client had cooperated in the investigation and stood behind his companyâs training and services. He added that Solomon had acknowledged âcertain errorsâ in judgment, but that he was disappointed he had been charged.
Vranas and his attorney didn't immediately return calls for comment.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who hand-picked Byrd-Bennett to be his schools chief in 2012, said he was âsaddened and disappointedâ to learn of her alleged criminal activity.
In a statement Thursday, Emanuel said students, parents, teachers and principals in the nation's third-largest school district âdeserve betterâ.
......At the time, Emanuel said he was proud of his choice of Byrd-Bennett.....

Chicago Must Hire 111 FirefightersMay 18, 2011CHICAGO --
A federal appeals court ruled on Friday that the Chicago Fire Department must hire 111 African Americans who passed a firefighters entrance exam 16 years ago and pay millions of dollars to thousands more who took and passed the same test.
The Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling was the latest blow to the city, which has been on the losing end of court decisions regarding the 1995 test for years, including a 2005 ruling by a federal judge who said the test discriminate ...

Chicago Mayor Is Finding Out The Hard Way That The Democratic Base IsFeb 25, 2015The liberal wing of the Democratic Party can be susceptible to the “moral victory” fallacy, which in its most degraded form considers a righteous loser preferable to a compromised winner.

After all, this is Chicago we’re talking about; incumbent mayors expect to be coronated, not subjected to the indignity ...
