Since 2011, various local news agencies have reported that City and CTA employees owed the city coffers millions of dollars.  The city has aggressively gone after these scofflaws and have been making some headway.  

However, why would an Illinois State senator have any concern over city finances and collections?  Perhaps because Ira's wife is the 50th Ward Alderman?  maybe.....

Nepotism : favoritism (as in appointment to a job) based on kinship, Favoritism shown or patronage granted to relatives, as in business, favoritism shown to relatives or close friends by those with power or influence ....

Interesting ............ 

Im not against the idea,  But I am against the way this seems to be coming about.  Chicago Politics at its finest.
