Reckless Alexi


Kirk targets Giannoulias family bank loans Tribune. WLS here.

(Where did Alexi get his spokesman--"outlandish"?)

Look--Alexi was a loan officer with major responsibility when the family bank grew rapidly. He was involved in loans to mobster Jaws Giorango, going down to Florida to check on the property.

As Steve Bartin asks--how many Senate candidates have admitted they've lent millions to mafia figures?

And now the bank
is in trouble with regulators. Is another taxpayer-funded bailout in the offing?

In any event, Alexi Giannoulias, touted by our President Barack Obama as a brilliant young financier when he endorsed him for Illinois state Treasurer, made millions in loans gone bad and mismanaged the Bright Start college loan fund, then covered up the losses.

Every day it seems we learn about more unsavory ties of his. Reckless Alexi Giannoulias.

Do we want yet another embarrassment to represent us in the US Senate?
