Another Chicagoland Politician & Boss Daley Ally Indicted

Another Chicago politician and staunch ally of Boss Richard Daley was indicted today.
Chicago Breaking News reported:

Ald. Isaac Carothers (29th), a staunch ally of Mayor Richard Daley, was indicted today on charges he accepted about $40,000 in improvements to his residence as well as meals and tickets to sporting events in exchange for backing a major project by a developer.

The developer, Calvin Boender, was also indicted.

Carothers, 54, was charged with four counts of wire and mail fraud and one count each of accepting a bribe and filing a false federal income tax return.

Boender was charged with four counts of wire and mail fraud, two counts of obstruction of justice, two misdemeanor counts of violating federal campaign finance laws and one count of paying a bribe.

According to federal authorities, Boender sought to transform the city’s largest undeveloped tract of land, a 50-acre former rail yard and industrial site in Carothers’ West Side ward.

Carothers supported successful zoning changes for the Galewood Yards project, enabling half of the property to sold at a profit of about $3 million to Boender, the charges alleged.
