ComEd, Ameren, lobbyists donate money to Illinois General Assembly in “smart” poverty plea
The Illinois House joined the Senate today in overriding Governor Pat Quinn’s veto of the Smart Grid bill (SB9). Therefore, ComEd and Ameren consumers throughout Illinois will bear the billion-dollar cost of updating the power companies’ electrical system.
In the meantime, ComEd, Ameren and their lobbyists have given more than $280,000 in cash and parties to Illinois General Assembly campaign funds so far in 2013.

Daley administration’s “mistake” doesn’t hold Aqua water
In 2006, Dennis Aukstik and John George, attorneys for the law firm of Daley and George, lobbied Chicago aldermen on behalf of Magellan Development Group, the developer for Aqua at Lakeshore East. Aukstik is the former brother-in-law of William Daley, brother of then-mayor Richard M. Daley, and Michael Daley has been a partner at the family firm for more than 40 years.
That same year, the Daley administration signed a 99-year parking garage contract with Chicago Loop Parking LLC. Last month, arbitrators issued a $57.8 million ruling in favor of the company, which charged that City Hall violated the deal by “mistakenly” allowing a competing garage to be built one block away–in the Aqua at Lakeshore East building.
