Emanuel appointed her in 2012. She stole millions for three years and nothing happened. Then, finally, the Feds got involved.
My kind of town Chicago is ...... Barak Obama
Chicago???? I’m SCHOCKED. A DEMOCRAT even MORE shocked./s
Why don’t they just save time and file corruption charges against all Chicago public officials as soon as they are elected?
Wasn’t she going to run for city mayor against Rhambo last year?
Do we need a picture , NOPE
The purpose of the Democrat Party is to elect thieves to office so that they have access to the public treasuries in order to loot them.
Typical “educator”. Typical. “For the children...”, you know.
Yes, we need a picture. Pictures are necessary until people finally accept the fact that “Our Diversity Is Our Disaster.”

This is nothing new. When I attended a community college in Oakland in the early 1970s, it was common knowledge among the staff and students that the black college president and his son was fencing stolen college property out of their garage on weekends. Ultimately, they were arrested.
This was during a time when affirmative action was the new rage, with the wholesale appointments of "people of color" to managerial positions with or without any qualifications.
And it continues today, in spite of the disastrous consequences. So when I see a headline about this type of corruption, I immediately assume it's another case of back door reparations. I'm very rarely wrong.
Ah, what the heck...SURPRIZE!
Laz would hit it
LOL
Chicago? Corruption? You gotta be kidding! (/sarcasm)
And in other breaking news...
Water is wet.
The sky is blue.
And the Mafia is not a kind-hearted non-profit organization for Italian American males.
LOL! I love poetry.
