Owned a small business that was trying to get work with a city agency.
Got denied to be an approved vendor when I applied. We were told they would reconsider in two years.
A client of mine was wealthy and well connected. He was trying to convince me to let him invest in my business. I told him about being denied.
He made a phone call on our behalf to city hall. We got a call from the city agency within an hour that we were now an approved vendor.
Moral of the story. Chicago is corrupt AF.
