    Second Building Inspector Scrutinized For Union Ties NBC5.com
    The Sun-Times reports that after it asked the mayor's office to recheck the latest group of hires, attention settled on the 23-year-old son of an even higher ranking union leader, whose work experience may have been 'exaggerated' on his resume.

    Kevin Sexton was hired without proper qualifications, according to the newspaper, and his father is Mike Sexton, president of the entire Carpenters Union in Chicago.

    Embarrassment may be an understatement. Mayor Daley blames the buildings department for not checking the resume of a 19-year-old building inspector Andy Ryan, whose father is the secretary-treasurer of Carpenters Local 13. Now the mayor says Ryan lied on his resume in order to get a $50,000 a year job with the city.
