In a sworn deposition, an ex-aide to Chicago Ald. Jim Gardiner said the alderman was obsessed over criticism on his ward’s Facebook page, referring to his detractors as “rats” and vowing to rid the ward of them.
The Chicago Board of Ethics will not punish Ald. Nicholas Sposato (38th Ward) for violating the city’s Governmental Ethics Ordinance by appearing in photographs used on his social media page on city property.
The unanimous action by the Chicago Board of Ethics on Monday, which was disclosed Tuesday, did not name Sposato in keeping with its rules of procedure, found that there is probable cause to conclude that the alderperson violated two provisions of the city’s Government Ethics Ordinance.
