- It turns out that Mayor Daley remembers that R.J. Vanecko (pictured above exiting Cook County Circuit Court in December) is his nephew!
As the old guy on the staff in charge of remembering stuff, I’d like to report some good news on the all-important Mayor Daley memory beat.
You might also remember that neither the police nor the state’s attorney seemed especially concerned about Koschman’s murder until Tim Novak, Chris Fusco, Carol Marin, and other reporters from the Sun-Times wrote about it again and again and again.
One of whom happened to be the lover of the Park District employee who worked in the office in charge of giving out that contract.
In the Vanecko case Mayor Daley sat down for an interview with investigators from the city’s inspector general’s office, who were acting as agents for Webb.
But “it was not clear whether Mayor Daley was already aware of the incident when Crowl made the disclosure to him.” And “Mayor Daley did not recall Crowl advising him of the incident.”
I would have thought that was obstruction of justice or something. Guess I’ve been watching too many episodes of Barney Miller.
