During her days as a federal prosecutor, Lori Lightfoot heard a lot about the pile of debris at Roosevelt and Kostner that came to be known as “Mount Henry” for the West Side alderman who allowed the environmental disaster to happen, allegedly in exchange for bribes from an FBI mole.
“I marveled at the time, `How is it possible that this could have been happening?’ And this just grew and grew and grew. And with it, the corruption that followed,” Lightfoot said, without mentioning indicted Ald. William C. Henry (24th), who died before his federal corruption trail could be completed.
