Alexi Giannoulias: Wrong for Chicago
“Not once has Giannoulias apologized to taxpayers for his bank's collapse. He has never said anything along the lines of: ‘You know, I learned from my mistakes and I'll do better now.’ If he's sorry, he's only regretful that the bank failure cost him an election to the Senate.”
Ex-strip club owner with ties to reputed mob figures a big campaign donor to Alexi Giannoulias
“For years, businessman Perry Mandera ran a topless bar on the Near North Side, at times with help from reputed organized crime associates, including the late ‘mob cop’ Fred Pascente. These days, Mandera is involved in a much different kind of stage — the political stage, where he, family members and their businesses are contributing heavily to the campaign fund benefiting Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias.”
