Blue Island, Ill. Politician's Pool Party Ends With One Dead
Publius Forum ^ | 07/17/10 | Warner Todd Huston

If this isn't a perfectly representative Illinois politician story I've never seen one. There's misuse of public facilities, influence abuse, nudity, binge drinking, sexual harassment and a death… all the elements of the Chicago Way style of politics. It only lacks the bribes and payoffs that we always see, but as the cops become more involved, likely that'll come along in due time.

Phil Kander has the odd tale of intrigue, wild partying, and death in the SouthTown Star of the southern suburbs.

As it happens, Freddie Bilotto, the president of the Blue Island Park District Board, thought it would be wonderful to commandeer a city pool after hours, close it to the public, and invite all his most lewd and lascivious buddies and their easily undressed girlfriends for a bit of wild bacchanalia all on the city's dime.

Sounds like this guy might be related to the Kennedy clan.

Should've added that in the story he's referred to as Freddie (Caligula) Bilotto. That's a nice touch...

Memorial Park Pool...for crying out loud. That’s my pool. Swam there hundreds of times. My uncle and my cousins lived right across the street. And no undressed girls either!

So the bottom line is, one of Bootsy Biloto’s pals whacked One Eyed Carlos in the town pool. Go figure.

Hey, it’s not a Chicago party without at least one corpse the next morning.
