For years, City Hall maintained that Mayor Richard M. Daley’s son, Patrick Daley, had no financial stake in the deal that brought wireless Internet service to city-owned O’Hare Airport and Midway Airport.
But it turns out that the younger Daley still reaped a windfall of $708,999 when Concourse Communications was sold in 2006, less than a year after the Chicago company signed the multimillion-dollar Wi-Fi contract with his father’s administration, company documents obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times show.
Concourse disclosed its investors to the city, as required. Patrick Daley wasn’t one of them.
But he still managed to clear over $708,000 while enlisted in the Army. Also making a pile of money - the Vanecko boys. So how long was the media, the so-called "watchdogs," going to sit on all this info? And now that the Machine is firmly ensconced in Washington DC, we're pretty sure nothing will ever come of any of it.
