“Two buildings – 5630 S. Michigan and 6446 S. Kenwood. Rezmar [Rezko’s company] and the Fund [for Community Redevelopment and Revitalization, a Davis company] closed on this deal in 1998.

"We need to do something to handcuff Gov. Blagojevich from shaking down state contractors," Sen. Mike Jacobs, D-East Moline, said.'
Yet the Tribune has nothing and the Sun Times has Tim Novak chained to a wall until No. 5th.
Obama is tanking even with the overt help of the media - imagine if they actually did some work.
Get ready for a new parade of anti-Chicago Police or Cook County Jail stories to keep the loopy happy.
