State Senator Steve Landek (D-Bridgeview) reportedly offered his primary opponent a job if he would drop out of the race for the Democratic nomination in the 12th District.
The offer came during a meeting Landek had with Raul Montes Jr. on Dec. 29 in the village of Bridgeview's suite at Toyota Park. In addition to being a state senator, Landek is the mayor of Bridgeview.
Montes, a community activist from the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, says that Landek offered him $3,000 as well as a job.
