Cook County Demos Didn’t List Campaign Funds
The Justice Department declined to force Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s Cook County Democratic organization to file federal campaign finance reports last year. Officials say the failure to report, involving donors of $100 or more and expenditures of $10 or more, was treated as a technical violation and the case dropped. No charges were brought, and details were not shared with the Chicago prosecutor handling Daley organization probes.
