Even into his 90s, John J. White pushed to ensure the Better Government Association held fast to its mission of investigating and exposing waste and corruption in government.
“John was one of good government’s greatest champions,” said Andy Shaw, the BGA’s president and CEO. “He loathed the arrogance and the corruption that have polluted the political process in Chicago, Cook County and the state of Illinois, and he believed that an aggressive, robust BGA was essential in the fight for the better government we deserve.”
White died July 23.
