More Chicago Olympic fallout...

[rbell]

Remember this?

Chicago thought they were a "lock" to host the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Never mind that their crime is so out of control so as to be a national punchline.

Never mind that Chicago and politics are universally synonymous with "corruption," "bribes," and "dirty politics."

Never mind that not only did they not get the bid--they were humiliated in the process.

Now, we find out more not-so-shocking news:

Chicago's first-round flame-out in the 2016 Olympic sweepstakes was still a boon to 13 six-figure executives -- with one compensation package worth $483,713-a-year plus a housing allowance and monthly cleaning service.
A federal tax filing released Monday shows that Chicago 2016 spent $5.9 million on salaries and benefits in 2009, including $28-a-month health club subsidies for roughly 100 employees.

Pardon me, as I die from "not-surprised."

Don't look for chief thief Mayor Daley to offer any explanations. Dishonesty is business as usual for that crook.

Looks like the "Mob" is alive and well but they do their stealing without guns now.
