The Chicago Democrat hasn’t been subpoenaed or invited less informally. But seven former officials with his administration have been compelled to appear before the Legislative Audit Commission next month. They’re expected to address problems with management and spending under Quinn’s $55 million Neighborhood Recovery Initiative.
