What is Big Bite?

Rovito, whom NBC Chicago previously reported has alleged ties to the Chicago Outfit, is facing federal charges of operating an illegal gambling business and conspiracy to collect extensions of credit by extortionate means.

He was among 22 people arrested in coordinated raids by the FBI April 29 following a long-running investigation dubbed “Operation Porterhouse Parlay,” which allegedly uncovered links between illegal gambling operations and restaurant networks spanning Northwest Indiana and suburban Chicago.

Grasso claimed he was unaware of the donations before being approached by Patch. He added that his campaign had reported them to the Board of Elections and would be returning them.

“More women should be shortlisted for positions,” she suggests. “There shouldn’t be a case of going, ‘Oh, let me tick a box here’ or ‘This person is an anomaly to the rule.’

“I think it’s about businesses evolving to understand that having more women inside their businesses will aid and abet the success of their businesses, not hold it back.”

Yaxley adds: “The most meaningful measure of progress is not simply who joins an organisation, but whether opportunities, development and leadership pathways are accessible to everyone.”
