Secret fund backs Emanuel's agenda - chicagotribune.com

A secretly funded political group aligned with Rahm Emanuel has donated more than $445,000 to aldermanic candidates to help the mayor-elect in a high-stakes battle over control of City Hall....

Emanuel, sensitive to any suggestion he is a power broker like outgoing Mayor Richard Daley, gains potential council allies. The donors keep their anonymity, thanks to controversial quirks in fundraising laws. And aldermen get the help they seek without appearing beholden to anyone.
