A former top Exelon lobbyist in Springfield was found to have sexually harassed a colleague multiple times in a “particularly intrusive and unsettling” manner, according to a new decision from the Illinois Executive Ethics Commission.
David Fein, a former top lobbyist for Exelon Generation, the company that manages its nuclear fleet, lost his job in 2019 when the allegations against him were first raised with his superiors and later became public in a report by Crain’s Chicago Business.
Shortly thereafter, the secretary of state inspector general opened an investigation into Fein’s conduct as a lobbyist. That probe reached its conclusion Wednesday when the state ethics panel levied $6,000 in fines against the former utility executive and suspended his lobbyist registration through the end of the year.

Unfortunately, if she has the secret to a long and happy life on this earth (and how she managed not to be hospitalized until age 108!), she’s not talking. “I just live right, all I know,” Ford told her local CBS TV station in August.
But while Miss Ford may not know why she’s made it this far, we do know that there are some misconceptions about longevity that we need to clear up.
