City Hall has another multimillion-dollar deal in the works for Mayor Daley's nephew and his business partners.

It's the latest in a string of city deals involving Daley nephew Robert Vanecko.

They began five years ago, when Vanecko and the mayor's son, Patrick Daley, became hidden investors in a company that took over the city's sewer-inspection contracts -- a deal now under federal investigation.

Records show that Vanecko is a hidden investor in a company owned by Allison S. Davis, a friend of the mayor who's seeking a $2 million loan from the city along with $838,369 in federal tax credits to build 54 apartments along the lakefront at 40th Street as part of the Chicago Housing Authority's massive plan to replace the low-income high-rise projects that Daley has torn down.

Many of the names cross-reference to Obama.

For example: Habitat Co’s CEO is Valerie Jarrett, a top Obama campaign aide.

Follow the money.

Trust me, it’s worse here.

Every time you turn around, something else is owned or managed by the Daley family and their cronies.

Trust me I understand. I lived in Chi-town from 93-01.

McCain could run an affect ad railing against Chicago style politics.

And asking, “When has Barack Obama ever stood up to his own party in Chicago or Illinois?

If he can’t stand up to Mayor Daley...
