Chicago: 'Going rate' to buy a job in Dorothy Brown's office? $10,000, employee tells feds
[Chicago Tribune] One employee told federal investigators that the “going rate” to buy a job in Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown’s office was $10,000, to be paid to her personal bagman.

Another said in an FBI interview it was well-known that showering gifts on Brown could earn you a promotion, citing a trip Brown took to India that was partially paid for by relatives of one of her top employees.

Financial records appeared to back up the claims, including transactions showing the alleged bagman — who is also a clerk’s office employee — paid $40,000 directly to Brown and a company she controlled. The clerk later deposited $30,000 of those funds into her campaign war chest.

Those allegations are among several startling new details revealed by federal prosecutors in a court filing in the pending charges against Beena Patel, one of Brown’s former aides whose relative helped fund the India trip in 2013.

#10  Years ago Mike Royko (I think) suggested that the city save money by selling city hall and having all the board of aldermen meetings in the city jail, since most of the aldermen were already there...

#11  “Churchill: "Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?" Socialite: "My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course... "
Churchill: "Would you sleep with me for five pounds?"
Socialite: "Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!" Churchill: "Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price”

― Winston S. Churchill
