It's almost poetic: a federal investigation into the CHA's "supervoucher" program, criticized as inefficient for using taxpayer money to place former residents into luxury downtown high-rises such as the Aqua Tower, was initially requested by State Representative Aaron Schock (R - Downton Abbey), himself in hot water for using taxpayer money for a lavish new office (he's since reimbursed the government). The inspector general of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recommends the CHA pay HUD back for the excess payments. [Crain's]
