Show Rahm the Money

Still not getting the bills paid:

• Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration has made its second reimbursement request for expenses incurred during the NATO summit here in May, including a claim for more than $300,000 for costs to the CTA and more than $900,000 for police agencies.

  The total amount billed to the Chicago NATO Host Committee on Friday is more than $3.2 million, which comes on the heels of a request for more than $15 million last month. Sarah Hamilton, a spokeswoman for Emanuel, said the city would continue to submit itemized bills to recoup its costs.

It's kind of like being a contractor for the city and waiting 6 months, 9 months, a year to get paid. Nice to see the shoe on the other foot for a minute.
