Six Chicago aldermen who traveled to Beijing last summer on a weeklong Olympics fact-finding trip paid for by a Chinatown business group didn't report it on their annual ethics disclosures.
They didn't have to, according to the city's Ethics Board.
And that illustrates the vagueness of standards for elected officials to report such activities with business leaders, one watchdog group says.
Who are they kidding? A fact finding mission after the 2008 olympics and before we lost the bid. There was no reason for this trip. The businessmen in Chinatown saw a way to buy off some aldermanic votes and these weasels jumped right on board. If it was a legitimate deal they would have filed it on their ethics statements. Of course the ethics board let them off the hook anyway. The ethics board has never found an alderman in the wrong. Even the ones that are in jail were never investigated or even accused of wrong doing by this bullshit ethics board. Like the lady said - all us aldermen are hos. Alderhos.
TMA takes a $10 bribe and gets indicted. Alderman steal millions per year and it's all justified.
