Mayor Tobolski’s ‘boys club’ came courtesy of McCook taxpayers – Chicago Sun-Times

By Pippenburg’s account, Tobolski used the taxpayer-subsidized dining spot, Alta Grill, as his private hangout, often staying past closing time to drink with pals while running up tabs he sometimes didn’t pay. Tobolski regularly went behind the bar to pour himself a drink or wandered into the kitchen to order up items not on the menu — and insisted the restaurant always be prepared to serve him his favorite dish: grilled octopus, she said.
