Chicago Sky owner Michael Alter fined by city ethics board for seeking Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s help on gambling license without registering as a lobbyist

“I am writing you now to formally get the mayor’s support for pending legislation that will — FINALLY — provide an opportunity for the sky to get a gaming license,” Alter wrote. “As you know from our previous conversation, in the big gaming bill passed in (June) 2019, all the men’s professional teams were (given) the right to buy a license. The sky was not included.”
