At first blush, a pension bill adopted by the General Assembly in 2007 seemed to have a laudable goal: extending retirement benefits to local police force employees’ widows after they remarried.

But buried within the legislation was something considerably less altruistic: a provision that enabled a member of one of Chicago’s better-known political families to boost his pension by more than $30,000 a year — while saddling unsuspecting taxpayers in Oak Brook with nearly $750,000 in funding liabilities, the Chicago Sun-Times and Better Government Association have learned.

The recipient of that larger pension, Thomas Sheahan, is a former police chief in Oak Brook, the current village manager in Lyons and a member of a Democratic clan that has helped rule Chicago’s Southwest Side for decades.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The former president of a Chicago-based private equity firm has been sentenced in New York City to more than 13 years in prison after admitting he misspent millions of dollars in investor money.

Steven Byers was head of WexTrust Capital. He pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy and securities fraud. He was sentenced Monday in federal court in Manhattan to 13 years and four months in prison.

Prosecutors say Byers and others took $9.2 million from investors to buy seven commercial properties but never bought them.

The 48-year-old Oakbrook, Ill., resident also was ordered to pay $7.7 million in restitution and to forfeit $9.2 million in proceeds from the crimes.
