Alvarez campaign accepts donations from 60 workers
Fabio Valentini is one of the top prosecutors for Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez. Jack Garcia runs Alvarez's investigative squad, which consists of 100 or so police officers. Raymond Balcarcel is the chief financial officer for the entire agency.
Aside from sharing the same boss, they have something else in common: They're all donors to Alvarez's campaign fund.
Valentini, the $153,000-a-year chief of criminal prosecutions, gave Alvarez's political fund $300 in a donation recorded by the Illinois State Board of Elections on Dec. 4, plus a $250 donation recorded Sept. 30 and a $150 donation recorded July 17.
