James Laski

After serving a prison sentence, Laski became a controversial talk-radio host for a program that was broadcast on two Chicago-area radio stations.

[1] He attended St. Laurence High School and graduated with a degree in political science from Lewis University.

[2] He graduated from Northern Illinois University College of Law in 1978,[1] and quickly volunteered his services to then 23rd Ward Alderman, William O.

[6] Laski resigned from his position in February 2006,[5] —and gave up his law license— after being indicted in January of that year for soliciting bribes and obstructing justice[5] regarding his involvement in the City of Chicago's Hired Truck Program.

[6] Federal agents had caught him on tape encouraging witnesses to lie to a grand jury and deny that they had been giving him anywhere from $500 to $1,000 a month in cash bribes to continue getting business from the program.
