Attorney Says Moore Accepted Bribe

Moore Bribery Coverage Try this game with your family: Spot the lie that covers up the bribery. (Hint, it's Joe Moore's assessment of your intelligence.) "During the Chicago City Council's regular meeting on Feb. 8, 2005, the City Council approved lifting the moratorium on new liquor licenses between Pratt and Devon per Moore's request. The next day, Odeh contributed $1,000 to Moore's campaign fund according to the alderman's campaign disclosure statements filed at the Cook County Clerk's office. Moore has since said the contribution had nothing to do with his decision to lift the moratorium." Remember, Joe Moore is a good and decent man who represents honestly the principles of progressive Democratic politics.
