Calumet City’s municipal credit card statement showing charges from Hooters, a Gordon Ramsey restaurant, a hotel in New Orleans and a Cadillac lease have led aldermen to question whether Mayor Thaddeus Jones or another official is attempting to charge city taxpayers for personal expenses.
Patton noted Saprina is not a city employee. The agenda from a City Council meeting April 25 shows a request to pay $14,220 to Napleton River Oaks Cadillac Inc.Fifth Ward Ald. Dejuan Gardner also moved to delay paying a series of charges on the municipal credit card statement. Records obtained by the Daily Southtown show they include $2,823 from a Sheraton Hotel in New Orleans dated Nov. 2, $2,288 from Amazon Jan.
“My assumption is that the mayor has access to a city credit card and is putting these charges on a city credit card,” said Patton. “The bigger issue is, first, getting an idea and an understanding of how this is happening.”the Chicago Tribune reported
