RFI ED pens op-ed supporting OIG ordinance
RFI Executive Director Alisa Kaplan authored an op-ed with the Better Government Association’s Bryan Zarou about an ordinance that would safeguard the independence of inspector general investigations in Chicago.
“Former Ald. Ed Burke was just released from federal prison after being convicted on extortion and other corruption charges. He was just the tip of the iceberg — nearly forty Chicago aldermen have been imprisoned over the last half century, and former Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan was just sentenced for his role in bribery and other schemes. Chicagoans deserve better. Now is not the time to hobble our watchdogs and twiddle our thumbs on basic, common-sense reforms like this.”
