‘Clout Jobs for $400!’
CHICAGO, IL — The Susana Mendoza for Mayor campaign invited voters to play today’s “Daley Trouble” tile: “Clout Jobs for $400.” Using his family name and influence, Bill Daley helped his brother create and maintain a secret “Clout List” of people seeking jobs at City Hall.
After using his family name and clout to cheat his way through the Illinois insurance licensing exam, Bill Daley helped his brother keep tabs on political allies in an old school patronage scheme that was the center of a criminal investigation. The Daley brothers worked in smoke-filled rooms to place political cronies in positions of power, handing out jobs to connected allies in a scheme that landed Daley family friends and associates in jail.
“Bill Daley’s corrupt patronage scheme put him at the center of an FBI investigation that landed countless friends and associates behind bars,” said Susana Mendoza for Mayor Press Secretary Christian Slater. “Chicago can’t afford a mayor attached to the nepotism, patronage, and party boss politics of the past.”
