Ald. Walter Burnett Jr. (27th) can’t find any paperwork regarding $100,000 in unaccounted for campaign contributions because the records were destroyed in a “catastrophic flood” more than 20 years ago, his lawyer has told the Illinois State Board of Elections.
But William J. Cadigan, who chairs the state elections board, said the letter from Burnett attorney Michael J. Kasper “doesn’t ultimately resolve the issue: Where are the funds?”
