Governor Pat Quinn is accusing Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel of plotting a “backroom deal” to make renovations at Wrigley Field, at taxpayer expense.
Quinn says that’s why Emanuel is blocking Quinn’s choice to head up the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority, the body which helped finance U.S. Cellular Field and the Soldier Field renovations.
Quinn wants his communications chief, Kelly Kraft, to run the agency.
But Emanuel questions whether she has enough experience in finance to handle the job.
