Alderman Patrick Levar is the chairman of the city's Aviation Committee. His brother Michael used to be a top Chicago official in charge of O'Hare contracts.
Another Chicago coincidence!
Michael retired from that post, then went to work for an O'Hare contractor, Diamond Coring, which donated $11,400 to Ald. Levar's campaign funds. Michael doesn't work there any more, but Diamond Coring is under investigation by Chicago's inspector general office and the federal government over allegations that it operated a phony female-owned construction company with the whimsical name of The Stealth Group, Inc.
A lawsuit by a former SGI employee related to these claims was settled out of court, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
