City Hall forked over $1,300 for large photos of Rahm to put on display
Large photos on poster board of Mayor Rahm Emanuel were hanging in the hallways of the Chicagoland Laborers’ District Council Training & Apprentice Fund center when he gave an invite-only speech on infrastructure in February. Through a Freedom of Information Act request, the Tribune discovered that City Hall spent “$1,364.54 on the 49 large photos of the mayor displayed at the union hall, including eight of him shaking hands with construction workers, six showing him cutting ribbons and five featuring the mayor plunging a shiny shovel into some dirt.” [Tribune]
