A body discovered floating in the Chicago River near Merchandise Mart this morning is believed to be that of Chicago Public Schools Board President Michael Scott, police said.
Police have not positively identified the man, but Scott’s Cadillac was found nearby and Scott’s family had reported him missing earlier in the day....

Didn’t this guy oppose the openly homosexual replacement for Arne Duncan as Chicago Schools Chief?
He got the short end of Arbitration Resolution.
My guess is Scott knew something about the Democratic system selling school admissions to wealthy parents in exchange for bribes.

Chicago 2016 Olympics: Member of city’s bid team has deal to develop land near park earmarked for the Games
Michael Scott, the city school board president, says he has done nothing improper
By Todd Lighty, Kathy Bergen, and David Heinzmann
August 07, 2009
A member of Mayor Richard Daley’s team working to bring the Olympics to Chicago has quietly arranged to develop city-owned land near a park that would be transformed for the 2016 Summer Games, potentially positioning himself to cash in if the Games come here, a Tribune investigation has found.
Developer Michael Scott Sr., an early member of the mayor’s Olympic committee, leads a group planning a residential and commercial project on lots kitty-corner from the proposed Douglas Park sporting venues, a location where land values could jump if the city gets the Olympics.
The plan – which would include a Nike store – already has gotten crucial support from the local alderman, who has set aside the lots for Scott and his group.
The city generally sells taxpayer-owned lots for $1 apiece for affordable housing projects, and in other cases negotiates land prices.
Scott owns Michael Scott & Associates, a real estate development and investment firm. He also serves as president of the Chicago Board of Education, and was in the news earlier this week when he said he was subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury looking into admissions to the city’s elite public schools.

LOL!!
So sez the Politburo. LOL!!!
The stench points towards the incredible Democrat machine of Daily, *and* somewhere down under the layers?? The zerO, Itself.
In the meantime ANOTHER bites the dust under mysterious circumstances, Clintigula redux. Unreal.
That’s the Michael Scott I was thinking of, too. But what’s worse, I recalled the time he drove right into the lake, because his navigation system told him to do so!
Those Olympic village deals are some fascinating stuff. REALLY fascinating.
Let's be accurate. He was to testify about how Obama's, Clinton's and McCain's passport information was illegaly disclosed. No scandal there about Obama's passport itself.
WOW! Thanks for the ping. Somebody wanted him ‘shut up’. The bodies are starting to stack up.
“The stench points towards the incredible Democrat machine of Daily, *and* somewhere down under the layers?? The zerO, Itself.”
You betcha.
I wonder if there will be a way for the autopsy results to get, er, skewed. It'll have to be a suicide of course.
Is that the trash truck that dumped his body in the river with the hospital waste and aspestos?
It’ll be ruled suicide.
Nothing to see...move along folks.
Is the person who is blowing thew lid off of Obama’s “selective service” registration still alive as well???
This is starting to sound alot like Fort Marcy Park, and all the dead folks a certain former democrat president had...And his wife too!!!
Thanks for the link.
...we should not jump to any conclusions...
I’m sure Mayor Daley knows NOTHING about this....
hh
Isn’t that what ‘they’ keep saying about all of the feet that keep washing up on the shore of western Canada?
Weren’t the Obambi girls in a prestigious public “lab” school before they moved to their even more prestigious private Washington school?
Video link here, includes towing of his car.
