Laura Foxgrover, a Chicago Park District official who oversaw concessions, testified Thursday that she never put in writing that the father of her unborn child was negotiating the biggest concession deal in park district history.
She said she also didn’t say anything in response to an email July 3, 2002, from a park district negotiator saying he was unaware of any relationships between park officials and the Park Grill restaurant owners — who included Matthew O’Malley, the father of Foxgrover’s baby.
“I never put it in writing that I was having a baby with Matthew O’Malley,” Foxgrover testified in Cook County Circuit Court in a lawsuit filed by City Hall to break the Park Grill’s 30-year lease at Millennium Park, a deal reached after Foxgrover gave birth in September 2003.
Foxgrover has testified for more than 10 hours over two days and will be back on the witness stand Friday. She repeatedly said she was unable to recall emails she received while the park district and its negotiators, Urban Concessions, were negotiating with O’Malley and his partners.
