In the Neighborhood

More fine investigative work by Dan Curry, Reverse Spin, on the latest Blago-Rezko scandal. (My previous post here):
If I were a reporter or federal investigator I’d be looking very closely at those 2004 actions by the new agency. With Ata as executive director and Tony Rezko’s next door neighbor in Wilmette (graphic below), David Gustman, as board chairman, the lights were all blinking red for millions of dollars in insider deals. Gustman, a partner at the law firm Freeborn & Peters, has not been implicated in any of the corruption investigations as far as we can tell. However, his firm at about the same time was getting some nice no-bid work from the Blagojevich administration, including legal work on the aborted sale of the main state government building in Chicago, the James R. Thompson Center.
What is it with this cozy real estate among "friends".

Exit question---do they all play basketball?
