Mayor Fessus Up on Trips

Sun Times:

Mayor Daley acknowledged today that he took multiple trips — as he put it, “I don’t remember all of ‘em” — aboard a $31 million jet owned by a non-profit organization under investigation by the IRS and Congress.

Daley changed his story one week after City Hall insisted that a September 2006 trip to Singapore was the mayor’s only flight courtesy of EduCap, a multi-billion student loan charity under the microscope for allegedly abusing its tax-exempt status.

One trip, going to Cabo for his birthday. Also taking flights on the plane?

The EduCap jet, reportedly sold after the IRS launched its investigation, was also used to transport CIA Director Leon Panetta, former FBI Director William Sessions, former U.S. Senator Tom Daschle (D-South Dakota) and Stevens, the network said.
The trips were sooo educational, I'm sure.
