Thank you! For anybody interested in Paul Powell, this is an amazingly lengthy dive from just a couple of weeks after the scandal broke. It wasn't paywalled, either, via the link. I'll trade you links. The one below is Ron Grossman's look back in the Tribune, linking the troubles of Jesse Jackson Jr. with Powell. Not nearly as long, but a good start. What stayed with me is that James Whiote, Powell's purchasing agent, told a grand jury that he brought Powell $40,000 in bribes nine days before he died. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2013-02-24-ct-per-flash-paul-powell-0224-20130224-story.html
