Alderman Bernie Stone on Showergate
23 February 2008
“Who cares? What’s wrong with that?” asked Ald. Bernard Stone (50th). “These guys who work 14, 15 hours a day — that doesn’t bother me.”

Showergate, for those of you unaware, is the latest scandal (I use that term somewhat loosely) to break out of Chicago, involving an alleged $5,400 taxpayer-funded shower in the office of $155,600-per-year City Budget Director Bennett Johnson III.
The very thought of such an affair, such a monstrous, reckless abuse of taxpayer money, has been condemned by every politician in Chicago…except Alderman Stone.
