Rahm Gives Scofflaw Money to Kids, Cops

Chicago collected $5.2 million since the Council last month allowed the city to dip into the state tax refunds of those who owe money for parking tickets and other fees. It expects another $3.3 million during the rest of the tax season. Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Monday he’s directing it toward 20,000 additional summer opportunities for kids and 50 new cadet slots in the June 2012 police academy class.
