· Investigation: sexual harassment claims against ex-state treasurer Dan Rutherford “unfounded” Onetime Illinois state treasurer Dan Rutherford’s 2014 gubernatorial campaign was destroyed in part by allegations regarding former employee Edmund Michalowski, who sued the then-treasurer claiming that Rutherford had sexually harassed him from 2011 to ’13, and that his own career had suffered as a result. Now an investigative firm hired (by Rutherford) to review the claims has concluded they were “unfounded.” [NBC Chicago]
