Marquez questioned on ComEd summer internship program
Fidel Marquez was questioned on the ComEd summer internship program Thursday.
Mike McClain would forward several requests from the 13th Ward to Marquez to place certain people or students in the program.
Many were during 2012 to 2015.
It was noted that a lot of the candidates had worked at the Madigan-Quinn Service Office or in the 13th Ward, and at least two of them were hired despite their low GPA.
At least six to 10 positions were given to students from the 13th Ward.
"It was done as a favor for Michael Madigan," Marquez said.
A recording was also played of a conversation between McClain and Marquez about a request from Andrew Madigan.
Marquez said he treated requests from Andrew as if they were coming from Mike Madigan.
