Sun-Times scorecard since they broke the “Hired Truck” scandal story in January:
Arrests: Three city employees — Angelo Torres, ex-gang member who ran the Hired Truck Program; Gerald Wesolowski, a high-ranking Water Department official accused of being a bagman, and John Boyle, an engineer for the Transportation Department accused of taking more than $150,000 in bribes. One trucking company owner is also accused of lying about alleged bribe.
Resignation: Bill Abolt, director of the mayor’s budget office that oversees the Hired Truck Program.
And it’s not nearly over. In next week’s Capitol Fax, we’ll talk about the impact of this ever-growing scandal on some key political races. Stay tuned.
