Former Chicago Alderman Arenda Troutman was sentenced to four years at ClubFed last week. Ms. Troutman had started the 20th Ward Women’s Auxiliary to hide money. At sentencing, Ms. Troutman told Judge Ruben Castillo, “With God as my witness I am not a monster.”
A monster, no, but a tax evader she was. The judge noted that Ms. Troutman likely associated with gang members and sentenced her to four years at ClubFed.
