* Mayor Daley on Zoning

According to the Sun-Times, Mayor Daley called zoning an alderman's "highest responsibility" and "the most controversial area of city government."

What Mayor Daley didn't mention, it's also the most profitable tool for the sitting Alderman's campaign war chest. Those $25 dollar a head fundraisers don't cut it.

Is there any way to distinguish the use of fundraisers in order to get a favorable zoning rule from outright bribery.

Cash for zoning is the fundamental transaction that reinforces incumbency in our City Council.
