Chicago officials are weighing legal action against Barre Seid, the 94-year-old industrialist behind the largest known political advocacy donation in U.S. history, over claims that workers he hires to scatter nuts in Lincoln Park are fueling a rat infestation.
Alderman Timmy Knudsen told Axios he is pushing the Chicago Park District to sue Seid for damage to the park, while Park District officials told the publication they are still weighing their options.
