Mickey Segal’s "Personal Favorites"

Ex-Near North Insurance mogul and now sentenced federal felon Mickey Segal made most of his campaign contributions through his corporate entities. $17,000, however, came from his personal checking account.

Let’s call them “Personal Favorites.”

All but one of them identified Segal to the State Board of Elections as “Michael.”

Gubernatorial candidate George Ryan reported his name as “Mike” for a thousand dollar donation received right before his 1998 election. Ryan got another $1,000 in 2001.

Both Republicans and Democrats got money. And, there were more Democrats than Republicans.
