BREAKING: Joe Moore Caught Bribing Nursing Home Residents

A resident of the Arbour Health Care Center in Rogers Park gave a tip in advance to the Ginderske campaign team that 49th Ward Alderman Joe Moore would be handing out cash to people participating in bingo at the facility. The tip was shared with me.

We signed in at 2:15 p.m., just minutes after the event began, and walked upstairs to the Activity Room.

Alderman Moore was in the middle of the room, surrounded by approximately two dozen residents, all adults.

We must assume that many of them are registered voters, because Joe Moore would probably not spend much time with non-voters three days before the election.

We were told by more than one resident that bingo players would be playing with Joe Moore's money. That money came from an envelope in Joe Moore's pocket. The largest prize won was $10.00 per winner. Joe Moore personally handed cash to the winner of each bingo game from the envelope in his pocket. The game would start at $5.00 or $10.00 prizes. The dollar increments increased as the game progressed. Moore, accompanied by Anne Sullivan, stayed for approximately one hour. Their names were not seen on the register. We signed out at 2:45 p.m.
