The secret deal that former Ald. Danny Solis (25th) struck more than three years ago with federal prosecutors is now a public document.
Now, in a two-page exhibit attached to Solis’ deal titled "Admissions by Daniel Solis," the former City Council member admits to a scheme in which he was caught discussing plans to solicit campaign money from a development group that needed his help at City Hall.
His arraignment is set to take place by telephone, meaning he won’t be forced to walk through the courthouse lobby, where he would surely be mobbed by news reporters and camera crews. Solis spoke with one of the group’s executives, Thomas Meador, on July 27, 2015, and asked him to contribute to a fund-raiser to be held on Sept. 10, 2015. Solis also asked Meador to seek contributions from others.
The zoning committee recommended the change be passed on Sept. 21, 2015. That same day, a third executive made a $5,000 contribution to Solis’ campaign fund. Three days later, the full City Council approved the developer’s project, with Solis also voting in favor.
