A veteran politician Rahm Emanuel named to his mayoral transition team resigned her high-level state job last summer and paid a fine for conducting political business on state time, according to a newly filed ethics report.
Judy Erwin, a co-chair of Emanuel's mayoral campaign, said late Friday night that she would resign her new post on his transition team after the Tribune contacted her and the campaign. She said she hadn't informed Emanuel of the ethics violation.

Larry Sinclair?...
Watch this creep position himself for a run for the White House. He thinks he can’t lose.
Erwin, the former executive director of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, admitted using her office e-mail and phone while working on a campaign committee for presidential candidate Barack Obama, using staff resources to plan her trip to the 2008 Democratic National Convention and engaging in campaign fundraising activity while on the job, the state's Executive Ethics Commission ruled in a decision filed Feb. 16.
The ethics commission said she...reimbursed the state, agreed to pay a $4,000 fine and promised to never work for the state again.
What’s a dead fish going to do as there are no honest pols in the whole State?
What’s the old saying? “She ain’t ready for reform yet”.
Blow, the guy won the election please can we concentrate on the important stuff not all this small garbage that will not amount to a hill of beans?
There is no law in this nation, only for the real Americans who love this country.
And so it begins....Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Probably none of them thought it was anything unusual.
To all cites. the Democrats do not have your beet interests.
The definition of an honest Chicago politician is one that stays bought!
It is the ethics violation that probably caused Rahm to want her on his team in the first place.
Once they found a court that would overturn his “not a citizen” issue, I gave up on the belief that Rahm would not be able to buy his way into this position. This man is nothing more than an “enforcer” and it is frightening to watch him buy his way into power. Once the Chicago Machine put Obama into office, the floodgates opened.
“Watch this creep position himself for a run for the White House. He thinks he can’t lose.”
He KNOWS he can’t lose.
Somehow "creep" seems like too nice a word to describe Emanuel.
Riddle me this Batman..How can Emanuel, nominally a Jew, have supported Obama, a Muslim demonstrated hater of all things Israel(Except their campaign contributions and votes of course.)?
What a Surprise! The real surprise is that she is stepping down. ( Of course, just like Obambi’s minions, they will ‘step down’ publicly) The next big news announcement will be that bears actually poop in the woods!!
"Progressivism" is thicker than blood...
Being a Republican in Chicagoland must be like being a downed US flier in Nazi Germany.
Its just survival and hiding by any means until you’re most likely captured.
