Another Chicago Alderman Pleads Guilty to Taking Bribes

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Former Ald. Arenda Troutman is expected to plead guilty this afternoon to taking bribes while she represented the 20th Ward on the South Side.

Troutman once adamantly denied taking part in bribe-taking in exchange for zoning preferences while she was alderman. But the FBI ran an undercover sting, recording Troutman while she allegedly engaged in illegal transactions.
