Just because he was found guilty of accepting bribes doesn't mean
former city Ald. Allan Streeter can't collect his late wife's
pension, the Illinois Appellate Court has ruled.
In a 2-1 decision handed down last Friday, the court upheld a
lower court's ruling that Streeter was eligible to receive his wife's
monthly annuity payments. Dolores Streeter, a city employee for 28
years, died in 1998 and designated Streeter as her beneficiary.
Streeter's attorney, Steven Richards, said Tuesday that the city
pension fund's denial of benefits to Streeter had been "politically
motivated."
