Derrick Smith, the indicted Near West Side state rep accused of accepting a $7,000 bribe, is organizing an event for locals who might need legal help of their own.
In the first publically organized event for his 10th District constituents since being arrested and indicted on bribery charges in March, Smith is offering a free legal clinic at his West Side office, 2532A W. Warren Blvd., on Saturday, July 21 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Laughable until ya think about it for a moment…
Derrick is facing a massive legal defense bill; one that he probably cannot afford to pay. But he can leverage his office and invite a bunch of lawyers to come and hear about some new cases. The lawyers get some fresh cases and will contribute a little something something to Derrick’s legal defense fund.
There’s no corruption problem and a little more corruption cannot solve.
