Something is NOT right here....Maybe other should have their expenses related to the Olympic COmmittee investigated too.
The office’s probe included a review of artwork purchased by the school system under Scott’s watch and items Scott himself had charged, including expenses related to his separate role as a Chicago 2016 Olympic Committee member.

HIS FINAL HOURS | Police files obtained by Sun-Times show School Board
###
Sixteen hours before he was found dead, city School Board President Michael W. Scott got a Sunday-morning call from a top aide to Mayor Daley to schedule a meeting about questionable expenses that Scott and his staff had charged to board credit cards.
Scott had a 13-minute conversation with mayoral press secretary Jacquelyn Heard starting at 11:01 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, according to police reports obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times about Scott’s suicide.
Scott goes to the office of a real estate developer regarding Scott’s monthly fee for consulting on projects. Scott is told the consulting contract is void, according to reports from the Chicago Police Department, which blacked out the names of everyone who was interviewed.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate David Hoffman cited a New York Times column Sunday morning saying front-runner Alexi Giannoulias needs to answer questions about what loans he approved as vice president and chief loan officer for Broadway Bank from 2002 to 2006. * * * Among the loans Giannoulias has gotten heat for:
* More than $10 million from 2001 to 2005 to alleged Father & Son Russian mobster team Lev and Boris Stratievsky. Father Lev has passed away. Son Boris is in jail facing money-laundering charges. Broadway funded development projects some on the South Side — that tenants and city attorneys complained were roach motels. Broadway has been unable to collect on the loans.
* About $12.9 million to convicted bookmaker Michael Giorango for a Miami Beach hotel and a Hollywood, Fla., restaurant, among other ventures, according to Crain’s Chicago Business. Broadway has sued Giorango and his partner, Demitri Stavropoulos, convicted of running a betting operation in Chicago, seeking to get the money back. Giannoulias initially downplayed his relationship with Giorango, noting the loans to him started before he joined the bank. Later he said he went to Miami to meet Giorango and inspect the property, and that another $3 million loan to Giorango was for a South Carolina casino.
“If I knew then what I know now, obviously we wouldn’t have made those loans,” Giannoulias told the Sun-Times regarding the loans to the organized crime-linked recipients.
