EXCERPTS FROM TODAY'S TRIBUNE STORY:
"Nothing Left Up to Chance"
Robert Becker & Dan Mihalopoulos. Published April 6, 2007.

"David Herro, a mutual fund manager for Chicago-based Harris Associates, has contributed $60,000, or about half of the money that Gordon has raised...Herro, who does not live in the ward, said he offered his help to Gordon because he disagreed with Moore's stands on the big-box ordinance and the foie gras ban...
Herro said his firm's large holdings in Wal-Mart have nothing to do with his donations to Gordon and other aldermanic candidates opposed to the big-box ordinance...Gordon, who said he had never met Herro before the campaign, welcomed the donation."
