Daley Contributors Among Us

Crain’s Chicago Business has an interesting feature I just found.

Type in your zip code and you can find people to contributed to Chicago’s Mayor Richard Daley from 1999 through Feb. 19, 2007.

Naturally, I typed in my zip code—60014

Here’s what I found in Crystal Lake’s zip codes

The only two I have photos of are District 1 McHenry County Board member Marc Munaretto and former Metra Board Chairman Jeff Ladd. Munaretto is on top and Ladd on the bottom of the article.

When I asked Munaretto about the $250, he sent me this email:

“My son was appointed to the Mayor’s Technology Task Force. I paid for two tickets for him to attend a Daley fundraiser in Chicago.”
