  • In Business Q and A
    In Business Q and A Jim Murren, President and COO of MGM Mirage Interviewed by Richard Velotta / Staff Writer Jim Murren's promotion to president and chief operating officer of MGM Mirage didn't get much attention when it occurred last summer. That's because, at the time, the company was in the midst of so much other news that overshadowed the announcement: A deal with Dubai World that places half of the ownership of Project CityCenter in the hands of a foreign investor; another with Sol Kerzner, whose spectacular Atlantis project in the Bahamas is considered one of the premier resorts in the world, to design a Jim Murren is president and project with MGM Mirage on a site at Las Vegas Boulevard and chief operating officer of MGM Sahara Avenue; and the opening of a new casino resort in Mirage. Detroit. Photo by Steve Marcus And Murren, who joined the company in 1998, has been involved in all of them. He started with the company as executive vice president and chief financial officer after a 14-year Wall Street career. In 1999, he was named president and chief financial officer, and he is a member of MGM Mirage's board of directors and its executive committee. A strong believer in philanthropy, Murren and his wife, Heather, founded the Nevada Cancer Institute, a nonprofit institution dedicated to providing a cancer center for the state. He also serves as a trustee for foundations at the University of Nevada, Reno, and UNLV. Murren talked with In Business Las Vegas about several of his company's recent deals, progress at CityCenter and why he's frustrated with some of the community's problems — and the people who feel gaming taxes should be raised to solve them.

  • The Depth of Corruption in Illinois: Anti-Corruption Report Number 2 May 13, 2009
    The Depth of Corruption in Illinois: Anti-Corruption Report Number 2 May 13, 2009 Authored By: Thomas J. Gradel Dick Simpson And Andris Zimelis With Kirsten Byers David Michelberger Chris Olson Nirav Sanghani University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science 2 Public corruption in Illinois has a long history dating from the first scandal involving Chicago aldermen and Cook County commissioners in the 1860s. At that time they participated in a crooked contract to paint city hall. Today, nearly a century and a half later, crooked contracts still cost the taxpayers millions of dollars a year and crooked politicians still go to jail. As we continue our study of public corruption, we have discovered that our original findings underestimated the level of corruption in recent years. We now know that more than 1500 individuals have been convicted of myriad forms of public corruption since 1970. Based upon the testimony before the Illinois Reform Commission and our own research, we now believe that the cost of corruption, or “corruption tax,” for the Chicago and Illinois taxpayer is at least $500 million a year. This is based upon testimony before the commission that about 5% of state government contracts are given out to political cronies and campaign contributors and on our own tallies of the costs of the major scandals over the last four decades. In our last report we provided a detailed analysis of the 30 aldermen and former aldermen convicted of public corruption since 1970. In this report we describe some of the major scandals of the last four decades, a timeline of more than 375 convicted individuals at all levels of government, and a further analysis of some of the costs of corruption which have caused us to revise our estimate of the corruption tax.
