By Ray Long and Jason Meisner (Chicago Tribune), from October 16, includes “... State campaign finance records show Pramaggiore gave money to some of the state’s top Democrats, including $16,500 to funds controlled by embattled Ald. Edward Burke and $20,250 to Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. Pramaggiore also gave $10,000 to the campaign of former Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who invited Pramaggiore and her husband, Michael Harrington, on a junket to Rome for the elevation of then-Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich to cardinal. At the time, employees of ComEd and Exelon had made more than $183,000 in contributions supporting Emanuel, the Tribune has reported.”
