A former senior executive for Uber who once served as Barack Obama's campaign manager has been fined $90,000 by the Chicago Board of Ethics for illegally lobbying Mayor Rahm Emanuel on behalf of the ride-hailing company.
The board voted 5-0 to find that David Plouffe violated city ethics rules by failing to register as a lobbyist after contacting Emanuel to help the company on regulations for picking up travelers at Chicago's two airports.

It is all so incestuous when Democratic operatives do business together in Chicago.
$90,000.00 fine is nothing to these guys....jail would have been better
Plouffe is one of the inner circle.
He probably forgot to payoff the Chicago Don.
LOL
Oh, how the mighty are falling.
Plouffe was but one of a long line of weirdos that served in Obama’s two terms. Not to pick on people for their looks, but many of these ‘consultants’ just looked odd and not fully balanced. Messina was another one. Susan Rice (aka Ms Sunshine)was proud to stand in front of God and the press lying her ass off and race baiting as needed to keep certain critical mouths shut. Jeh Johnson always appeared to be on the verge of loudly saying something vulgar and harmful to most Americans.
Typical DIM pol...criminal.
Pocket change.
Not only illegal lobbying, but lobbying for ILLEGALS.
Plouffe is reportedly worth about 2.5 million. $90K will hurt but not that much.
I’ve already forgotten the name of the Ken doll Hillary spox. “Poof” is all I can think of.
Hypocrite need to be gone after big time. They broke more laws than they kept, with smugness.
“Obama Aide”
Plouffe was Obama’s 2008 Campaign Manager and a Senior Advisor for Obama through 2013.
So he basically worked for Obama for over six years.
Or this one either
He is also on the board for the Obama Presidential Library that ought to be an empty building.
