POPSIllinois Sen Obama Constituents Left In Minus10 Degree Housing
It was during this exact period that the district's new state senator -- Barack Obama -- received a $1,000 donation from Rezmar. The date was Jan. 14, 1997. Seventeen buildings -- many beset with code violations, including a lack of heat -- ended up in foreclosure. Six buildings are currently boarded up. Hundreds of the apartments are vacant, in need of major repairs. Taxpayers have been stuck with millions in unpaid loans. At least a dozen times, the city of Chicago sued Rezmar for failure to heat buildings. Did State Senator Obama ever complain to anyone -- government officials, Rezmar or Rezko -- about the conditions of Rezmar's buildings? There is apparently no documented evidence that Obama stood up for his constituents. But he did find time to write letters for Rezko; these requests were only recently discovered. photo of Sen.
