Another Chicago Alderman Caught in Graft




CHICAGO ALD. ARENDA TROUTMAN ARRESTED ON FEDERAL BRIBERY CHARGES

From blogger Third Generation Chicago Native's website, she gives an interesting quote from Ms. Troutman:

One Quote from Troutman:"Well the thing is, most aldermen, most politicians are ho's," Troutman allegedly said. At another point, court documents indicate, she boldly asked of a potential developer, "What do I get out of it?"

This tells you what type of problems in the Alderman at the 20th ward.

You got the cleaned up version of her charges, the one I posted has all her colorful language. She hangs with gangsters, talks like a gangster, conducts business like a gangster and her lawyer said they must have mistaken her for someone else.

Well, that is what the Northern District office of the DOJ gave: the clean up version. But, nevertheless, she is connected to Todd. And since Todd spells bad news, there you go.

The current Mayor Daley oringially appointed(annointed) her the post when the past Alderman died.
Yes she used to work on the City council w/Toddler, they were Aldermen together.
