John Arena has had eight years to fight corruption in City Council. In those years he has been a part of the Council on Finance and the Committee on Committees, Rules and Ethics.

ARENA TAKES MONEY FROM HIS BOSS, ED BURKE

Corrupt Alderman Ed Burke lead the Council on Finance - where John Arena was a member. Did John Arena stand up to Ed Burke? Not until the Feds did. In fact, according State Board of Elections Campaign Disclosure Report, John Arena has taken money from Burke’s campaign.

ARENA VOTED TO DISBAND THE CITY COUNCIL’S

INSPECTOR GENERAL

Arena wants you to believe that he fights corruption but he has been an enabler to the City’s biggest culprits - including Alderman Ed Burke. As a member of the City Council’s Committee on Committees, RULES and ETHICS, you would think he would be a corruption fighter, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth!

JOHN ARENA VOTED TO DISBAND THE OFFICE OF THE LEGISLATIVE INSPECTOR GENERAL! The City Council created an office to make sure that Aldermen were following the rules, acting ethically and investigated/punished if they weren’t. So if Arena was a corruption fighter, why would he vote to dissolve OLIG? Because he didn’t fight corruption until it was time for re-election.

John Arena is no corruption fighter. He is part of the problem. If you want a real progressive, you don’t want John Arena.
