    More political thuggery from the left. Tyrant-In-Chief of Chicago and former Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel may stop a grant to renovate Wrigley Field because one member of the Ricketts family is involved in a SuperPac unfavorable to Obama. Wrigley Field is 98-years-old, and one of the most famous stadiums in all of sports and a renovation would be great for the city. Emanuel had previously wanted to put over $100 million in tax incentives into the deal, but not anymore.

    So despite the obvious benifits of the renovation, Emanuel's hissy fit may stop the deal. Apparently in Chicago grants are now given or not given based on peoples' political opinions.

    It's called Chicago-Style politics.

    One of those Billionaires is a fundraiser for Obama. Rahm's giving her the cold shoulder until her father straightens up.
