I thought I made it clear that I was not saying he broke any laws, most Chicago politicians stay within the law. However, I grew up about 30 miles outside of Chicago, I saw Chicago news on TV daily, I listened to Chicago Radio, I read Chicago Newspapers, and read books written by Chicago insiders (One of the best was Mike Royco, a columnist for the Trib before he died, he wrote opinion pieces and books, a true insider with a good use of humor, he won a Pulitzer Prize) and in my experience and based on what I know a Chicago politician can not be a true independent, he can not exist without being beholden to someone. In order to get in the game you have to play the game, your connections and exchanging favors is everything. You have to have a toughness and be willing to do what needs to be done to win.
