Leader from Daleys Hispanic Dem Organization Sent to Prison
Leader from Daley's Hispanic political group sent to prison
November 14, 2007
BY STEVE WARMBIR Staff Reporter
A leader of Mayor Daley’s Hispanic Democratic Organization was sentenced to 15 months in prison today for lying to a federal grand jury that he never tried to get city jobs or promotions for political workers.
John Resa, 49, a Southeast Side coordinator for the group, was its first member to be charged in the ongoing federal investigation of HDO.
Resa apologized to the judge. His attorney had asked for him not to receive prison time, noting Resa had to take care of an elderly father, suffering from dementia, and three children.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Manish Shah said he believes Resa has never shown genuine remorse for lying to the grand jury, a serious offense.
Resa is a recovering alcoholic and had more than 20 arrests on his record, according to his pre-sentence report.
He lied to the grand jury in October last year even after he was given a grant of immunity to testify.
The only way he could have been prosecuted was to lie.

Illinois would be a much better State to live in without corrupt Chicago politicians.
