Here's a follow-up a story this morning.
"Chicago values" are in play. Remember, every 18 months or so a Chicago alderman is sentenced to prison.
And a former member of the Chicago City Council is in serious trouble, Proco "Joe" Moreno, who represented the 1st Ward until the spring of 2019.
The Chicago Police Department says the Moreno was behind the wheel of a 2017 Audi that hit several cars on Astor Street on the Gold Coast before colliding with a tree. His fellow Democrat, Governor JB Pritzker, lives on that street.
Moreno has already been accused of filing a false police report in regards to a bizarre incident last year where he reported his 2017 Audi stolen. Only he loaned the luxury car to his girlfriend. The GF, now an ex, is suing Moreno for defamation.
Oh is this the same Audi?
CWB Chicago has been the lead on this story--putting the anemic local media to shame. According to its sources Moreno, who was defeated last year in his reelection attempt, was found after the crashes to have an alcohol blood content of .329. The DUI limit for alcohol is .08 in Illinois.
About "Chicago values."
In 2012 Moreno tried to block the opening of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in his ward because its CEO opposed same-sex marriage. Then-mayor Rahm Emanuel criticized the chicken restaurant for not having "Chicago values."
