Since helping Mayor Rahm Emanuel turn back an effort to remove him from the 2011 mayoral ballot, Chicago lawyer Mike Kasper has seen his lobbying business boom at City Hall, records show.
Kasper successfully beat back arguments that Emanuel didn’t meet the city’s residency requirement, allowing him to run for mayor.
Kasper has since seen a sharp increase in the number of clients hiring his firm to lobby City Hall and also in the amount of money that business brings in, according to disclosure reports that City Hall requires lobbyists to file.
