Chicago Ald. Jim Gardiner is once again under investigation by the city’s watchdog, this time facing allegations he harassed a group of people collecting petition signatures for one of his opponents in November.During the Nov. 26 altercation, which was partly captured by a nearby doorbell camera, the alderperson was seen yelling at and walking toward a volunteer for candidate Marija Tomic, saying they should “run a clean campaign” and “know what you’re talking about,” according to the video.
The Board of Ethics complaint alleged that Gardiner’s conduct violated several provisions of the city’s Government Ethics Ordinance, as well as the city’s ethical code of conduct, which requires city officials to “treat members of the public with respect.” A spokesperson for Witzburg declined to respond to questions about the probes from WTTW News, in keeping with the inspector general’s rules of procedures.
