Poor David Plouffe! His secret lobbying of his old Obama White House colleague, current Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel, was never supposed to become public. If only two pesky open records lawsuits hadn’t forced the mayor to disclose hundreds of private emails in which he conducted city business in secret. Darn those sunshine laws!
Bill Ruthhart and Hal Dardic of the Chicago Tribune report:
A former Uber senior executive who once served as Barack Obama‘s campaign manager has been fined $90,000 by the Chicago Board of Ethics for illegally lobbying Mayor Rahm Emanuel on behalf of the ride-sharing company.
The board voted 5-0 to find that David Plouffe violated city ethics rules by failing to register as a lobbyist after contacting Emanuel to help the company on regulations for picking up travelers at Chicago’s two airports.
Just the first down payment for all that maggot has fleeced from the tax payer.
he just has one of those faces you want to punch. Sorry bitch slap he isn’t man enough for a punch.
Make them all pay if they violated the law!
Which maggot? Since we’re dealing with dickheaded dems, you’ll need to be more specific.
Should get a couple of years in the Illinois Criminal Depository – along with Emanuel.
izlamo delenda est …
I takes two to tangle. If the lobbyist Plouffe got fined why didn’t the guy on the other end of the equation, Rahm?
That is just chump change for a chump!
There is a great deal of difficulty getting this crap to disappear.
Plouffe – the sound a turd makes as it spashes into the toilet water.
Chicago has ethics? Who knew?
So, the city employees “fine” the guy that (allegedly) bribed the other city employee. And, the city employees keep cashing their city checks, paid (in part) by the shakedown, err… “fine,” from the (alleged) briber that got caught because the city employees couldn’t keep the “off the record” off the record.
That, that you peasants, is The Chicago Way.

I guess all liberal males are gay?
