BY TIM NOVAK Staff Reporter/tnovak@suntimes.com ..... For more than five weeks during the brutal winter of 1997, tenants shivered without heat in a government-subsidized apartment building on Chicago's South Side. It was just four years after the landlords -- Antoin "Tony' Rezko and his partner Daniel Mahru -- had rehabbed the 31-unit building in Englewood with a loan from Chicago taxpayers. Rezko and Mahru couldn't find money to get the heat back on. But their company, Rezmar Corp., did come up with $1,000 to give to the political campaign fund of Barack Obama, the newly elected state senator whose district included the unheated building. .... <b."The senator, relatively inexperienced in this kind of work, was assigned to tasks appropriate for a JUNIOR LAWYER,' according to an e-mail from Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs. "These tasks would have included reviewing documents, collecting corporate organizational documents, and drafting corporate resolutions.' In fact, Gibbs wrote,"Senator Obama does not remember having conversations with Tony Rezko about properties that he owned or any specific issues related to those properties.' .... suntimes.com Community organizers really CARE about people, don't they?. And isn't that a great followup to Harvard Law Review? "JUNIOR lawyer"! Expert document reviewers, that's what Harvard Law Review is famous for. Yeah, better get a Harvard Law grad to draft those pesky corporate resolutions.
