Ex-Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s chief operating officer is at the center of City Hall intern, contracting scandal – Chicago Sun-Times

Chief Operating Officer Paul Goodrich allegedly used his position  in the Lightfoot administration to secretly get his son a paid internship with a city contractor, and then tried to get that contractor nearly $10 million more in payments from taxpayers that the company may not have been entitled to. EKI-Digital has remained a city contractor under Johnson, and is run by Chicago businessman Robert Blackwell Jr., who’s been a friend and campaign contributor to former President Barack Obama.
