A new online survey about money, politics and corruption in Chicago targeted leaders at companies with at least a million dollars in revenue a year— in many cases, fifty million and up. About 90 percent of respondents said yes to questions like: Are business leaders pressured to make political contributions? Or: Does Chicago have crony capitalism?
