“Former Mayor Rahm Emanuel closed out his eight-year reign in style — with $1 million in charitable donations and a roughly $600,000 spending spree on farewell parties. … All of the pricey events were held during a time when Emanuel was conducting a seemingly-endless string of farewell interviews aimed at building his own legacy. Emanuel began the second quarter with $1.7 million in cash on hand, spent $1.6 million and ended the reporting period with $94,135 left in the bank.”
