The [Monday] PapersRich Miller has a roundup of Dan Ryan Shutdown coverage here, including the Twitter tustle between the mayor and the governor. Which reminds me of this interview from 2016 I just came across by accident last week (unless I just forgot about it) with Bruce Rauner describing the first time he met Rahm Emanuel. The part I wanted to excerpt is just too long to re-post here, so click on the link and see for yourself. * And indeed, Rauner helped make Rahm rich. You could almost say Rauner was Gordon Gekko to Rahm's Bud Fox! Almost. "Confidants of Mr. Emanuel's said he decided to try his hand at business because he wanted financial security for his family, before eventually returning to public service, " the New York Times reported in 2008. Financial security? Rahm wanted to be filthy rich. That's a fact. "He had a number in his head to make enough for the family," said Ezekiel J. Emanuel, one of Rahm's two brothers and a prominent bioethicist at the National Institutes of Health. Enough for the family. * "One of Mr. Emanuel's major deals was the purchase in 2001 of a home alarm business, SecurityLink, from SBC Communications, the telecommunications company that was run by William M. Daley, the former secretary of commerce in the Clinton administration and the brother of Chicago's mayor. "Mr. Emanuel represented GTCR Golder Rauner, a Chicago private equity firm that was buying the business for an affiliate. Bruce Rauner, the firm's chairman, had first met Mr. Emanuel when he was still exploring job prospects in Chicago after getting a call from Mr. Bowles, an old friend. "Instead of private equity, Mr. Rauner advised Mr. Emanuel to pursue investment banking, where his political experience might be more valuable in landing deals in regulated industries. "Mr. Emanuel called him back after starting at Wasserstein and asked if he could take over coverage of GTCR for his new employer. That eventually led to the nearly $500 million SecurityLink deal." * As a wise veteran journalist once said to me years ago, underneath the sauce all the noodles are connected. * Happier times being rich together, before each was up for re-election in difficult political environments that called for, in their minds, trying to exploit violence in Chicago for personal gain. - New on the Beachwood . . .
