Emanuel Administration Already Embroiled In Scandal

The co-chair of mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel's campaign, also a top member of his transition team, quit abruptly after the local media revealed that she engaged in “prohibited political activity” as a high-level state employee to help none other than Obama get elected in 2008. As the director of Illinois’ Board of Higher Education, Judy Erwin used her state-issued cell phone, electronic mail account and other public resources to work on Obama’s presidential campaign.

Erwin, also a former Illinois lawmaker, served on Obama’s Education Policy Committee while she headed the state agency, used staff resources to plan her trip to the 2008 Democratic National Convention and engaged in political campaign fundraising activities on taxpayer time, according to the Illinois Executive Ethics Commission. Made public earlier this month, the panel’s ruling blasts Erwin for intentionally misappropriating state property and resources.
