The media, which never holds a democrat to account for corruption, continues to (A) make a single mention of an incident and then (B) never follows up on it:

  • The top executive of a food and beverage concessionaire at O’Hare and Midway airports — whose business operations there are regulated by City Hall — contributed $1,000 to Mayor Brandon Johnson’s campaign fund, elections records show.

    Mayoral aides won’t discuss whether the contribution from Hyde Park Hospitality CEO Marc Brooks to Friends of Brandon Johnson in August 2023 — months after the mayor was sworn in to office — violates an executive order that bans city contractors from giving to a mayor’s campaign and, if so, what consequences the Chicago company might face.

    Signed in 2011 as then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel took office, the ethics order, which remains in effect, prohibits “city contractors, owners of city contractors, spouses or domestic partners of owners of city contractors, subcontractors to a city contractor on a city contract, owners of subcontractors to a city contractor on a city contract, and spouses or domestic partners of owners of subcontractors to a city contractor on a city contract from making contributions of any amount to the mayor.”

Why would they face consequences? They got their contract, they made the required "kickback" in the form of a campaign contribution, they'll make others and get more contracts. It's not like they're Madigan or Burke steering legal work to their connected law firms, who then make sure the guy whose name is on the door (the rainmaker) gets his usual partnership bonus due to all the money walking in the side door.
