"Green" Alderman Sells Permit for Lakefront Carcinogen Plume

Pay-to-play:

• over the course of multiple terms eats away at whatever moral fiber may have existed in the soul of an elected official,
• deprives citizens of their right to representation by reinforcing incumbency, and
  
• attracts dangerous, bottom-feeder developers
  

Moore selling a permit for an asbestos plume for campaign cash is only the latest example:

• Moore sold another demo permit to a another campaign contributor who cut a natural gas main in the Heart of Rogers Park, also bringing a haz-mat team to the 'hood
  
• Moore sold a package of lucrative public subsidies to yet another campaign contributor who fried 6 children
