Chicago union bosses raking in millions from city pension fund
###
Excerpt
All it took to give nearly two dozen labor leaders from Chicago a windfall worth millions was a few tweaks to a handful of sentences in the state’s lengthy pension code.
The changes became law with no public debate among state legislators and, more importantly, no cost analysis.
Twenty years later, 23 retired union officials from Chicago stand to collect about $56 million from two ailing city pension funds thanks to the changes, a Tribune/WGN-TV investigation found.
The short version of the story is that a couple of decades ago, somebody (amazingly they can’t seem to find anyone willing to admit they did it) inserted a change into the pension laws which essentially says that the pension city workers receive can be based on the last salary they drew from the union instead of the actual salary they earned working on the public payroll. Here’s a couple of the notable results:

Grosvenor Capital Management was one of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's largest campaign contributors.
==============================
After serving as an advisor to Pres Bill Clinton, in 1998 Emanuel resigned from his position and became an investment banker at Wasserstein Perella, (now Dresdner Kleinwort), where he worked until 2002.[26] In 1999, he became a managing director at the firm’s Chicago office. Emanuel made $16.2 million in his two-and-a-half-year stint as a banker, according to Congressional disclosures. At Wasserstein Perella, he worked on eight deals, including the acquisition by Commonwealth Edison of Peco Energy and the purchase by GTCR Golder Rauner of the SecurityLink home security unit from SBC Communications.[26]
Then-Pres Clinton named Emanuel to the Board of Directors for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") in 2000. That paid Rahm $31,060 in 2000------and $231,655 in 2001. During the time Emanuel spent on the board, Freddie Mac was plagued with scandals involving campaign contributions and accounting irregularities. The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) later accused the board of having "failed in its duty to follow up on matters brought to its attention."
Emanuel resigned from the board in 2001 when he ran for Congress--and served four terms.
When reporters asked that documents from Rahm's tenure be released under FOIA laws---Obama refused.
