Alderman to journalist: details of parking meter plan ‘none of your damn business’
Ald. Bernie Stone (50th) went on WTTW’s “Chicago Tonight” Wednesday to defend City Hall’s parking meter deal against the lawyer for a group who’s suing the city over it and a journalist who helped expose the hasty way it was done.
Stone got testy fast. He called Inspector General David Hoffman’s scathing report on the lease deal “worthless.” The Reader’s Mick Dumke, who has followed the deal closely, asked what research the alderman had done on the value of the meters. “That’s none of your damn business,” Stone replied.
