Did (Danny) Solis Sign It? In the 25th Ward it could all come down to who has the better handwriting analyst. – (what can you say about Chicago politics)

Tagged: , ,

“ELECTION LAW REQUIRES candidates to sign various documents in the presence of a notary. The punishment for counterfeiting a signature is banishment from the ballot. Lie about doing it under oath and you’re subject to a charge of perjury.

So the stakes in this controversy are high””and not just for Pilsen and other communities in the near-southwest-side ward. Solis has been one of Mayor Daley’s closest allies on the City Council since 1995, when the mayor tapped him to fill the vacancy left when alderman Ambrosio Medrano was sent to prison for extortion during the Silver Shovel probe.”
