Miller Gifford Miller Gifford
Mr. Gifford Miller who was Quinn's predecessor, was widely criticized last year for spending $1.6 million in Council money on mailings that were seen as thinly veiled political ads for his failed mayoral campaign. Mr. Miller's aides then compounded the problem by grossly underestimating the cost of the mailings, reporting an expense of only $37,000. He also said that the previous speaker, Mr. Miller, paid the price when his mailings came across as blatantly self-promotional rather than substantive.
