The voters of Chicago will first need to speak very clearly and loudly via the ballot box.

They have. The voters of Chicongo (not all of whom are alive) elected Tiny Dancer and a slew of democRATS. They made their bed ... let them lie in it.

Chicago's bankrupt....but the crooked pols still get theirs.

Valerie Jarrett STILL Receives A $36K Annual Pension For Part-
Time Chicago Transit job---(does not include lucrative bonding deals)

dailycaller.com ^ | 2/17/2016 | Chuck Ross / FR Posted by rktman

Chicago is known for its L-train. But it's the gravy train that White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett prefers to ride.

In addition to the $173,922 Jarrett earns per annum as President Obama's senior adviser, she is also paid an annual pension of $35,660 for the eight years she served as chairman of the Chicago Transit Authority, according to a Chicago Sun Times investigation.

Jarrett was appointed to chairman of the agency - a part-time position - in 1995 by then-mayor Richard Daley, whose brother, William Daley, served as Obama's chief of staff. Jarrett served as the former mayor's deputy chief of staff and was appointed to numerous other positions during his term. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...

======================================

Wonder how many transportation bonds were issued while Jarrett was at Chicago Transit? Her pension payout would pale against her hidden income from lucrative Chicago bond deals.

The antediluvian Rahm Emanuel is living in past history....the days are long gone when govt officials can pick and choose which laws they will obey.

PRESIDENT TRUMP TAKE NOTE:

The 1980 Georgia General Assembly was concerned about “the increasing sophistication of various criminal elements in government,” so it adopted the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), patterned after a similar federal law.

RICO is often used to try to prove that a legal business was being used for illegal means, and, in the beginning, was used to prosecute drug traffickers or organized crime members.

But in recent years prosecutors have applied RICO to government officials accused of using their offices for personal gain (at the time this involved various former and current Atlanta public school officials).

To bring a case under Georgia’s RICO law, there must be at least two underlying felonies — such as fraud, bribery, witness tampering (among others).

RICO allows prosecutors to include multiple defendants charged with various crimes in the self-same indictment, and to charge that they were allegedly part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.
