Chicago still has the clout down at City Hall. Former mayor Richie M's friend Freddy B. was the former driver for LaPietra, blew up a restaurant, and had juice loans yet the mayor said he knew nothing about that. In last couple of years Freddy sold his trucking companies which had all the city contracts for $100 million. THAT IS 100 million.Real estate developer Tommy DiPiazza bought property for 50k and sold it back to the city of Chicago for 1.1 million. Not a bad return. Both of those guys paid cash for their 10,000 square foot places in Marco Island. Must be nice. This is all public knowledge as well. New mayor yet nothing has changed in city hall.
