"Chicago Politician" works a lot of the time. Top mayoral aide refused to cooperate in services-for-vote probe: report - CWB Chicago
The Chicago Office of Inspector General (OIG) recommended the firing of a senior aide to Mayor Brandon Johnson after finding the aide failed to cooperate with an investigation into allegations that they tried to pressure a City Council member to vote for mayoral legislation in exchange for city services. But Johnson rejected that recommendation and continues to keep senior advisor Jason Lee on the city payroll.
Because this kind of "vote the way we want or we'll screw you," activity is not hard to envision in Chicago.
The OIG recommended that the Mayor’s Office fire Lee and bar him from future city employment, transmitting its report to the administration on June 30. The Mayor’s Office did not review the report until late July and asked for more time to respond, according to the inspector general.
So, are you shocked by this? You haven't been paying attention to Chicago politics. Here is a post from 2020. The History of Corruption in Chicago. It contains a list of Chicago politicians who were convicted, or pleaded guilty to corruption charges between 1972 and 2019.
