Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 14 September 2021
Additional allegations against Gardiner have surfaced, namely that he has refused to provide constituent services to residents that disagree with him and has targetted his critics through city inspectors. These allegations have been documented by Block Club Chicago, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, WGN, ABC, and NBC. Mayor Lori Lightfoot has formally requested the Office of Inspector General to investigate his office. Furthermore, according to the Chicago Tribune, sources say there is now an FBI probe looking into his misconduct. 2603:300A:5EC:F000:4BB:951:8522:45E0 (talk) 14:46, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
