now-imprisoned man. now it is giannoulias again trying to distance himself from rezko's reputation. >> let's be clear of what i've said from day one. '05 left daily operations '06 i left the bank. there are no inconsistentcies. >> reporter: but others seem to think so. this morning in new york. >> did you take a tax break you didn't deserve? >> no. i got a refund because of the loss of a family business. and i said that with that money i would give it back to charity. >> we don't -- we haven't dug down deep in the issue. it seems to me the bottom line the tribune is asking is did you work at the bank in 2006 or not. >> and the answer -- i've been consistent from the very beginning is yes. >> reporter: the talk started that he did work at his family bank in 2006.

contradiction to some. >> there was a controversial loan in 2006. and said i didn't know anything about. we don't say he does know about it but he was still working there. and the $2.7 million tax deduction allows him to prove that. >> reporter: he refutes that point. he says he disclosed the dates years ago. while giannoulias was still associated with his family's bank, broadway made a $22 million loan to tony rezko, a man later embroiled in federal investigations. he's in jail now and awaiting sentencing. giannoulias says his name isn't attached to loan documents and neither should his reputation be. >> are you telling me you had no influence on the tony rezko loan somewhat whatsoever? >> yes. >> even though he's a

multimillionaire, he wants his tax breaks so he doesn't have to pay federal tax. >> reporter: the hopeful says he never received addiction break because of his dealings at the bank. but noted in today's business paper refers to a business loss to broadway. not a tax break or refund for him. >> everyone who looks at the loan documents, i had nothing to do with the loan. but it's politics so people try to drum things up where there's no question whatsoever. >> reporter: he goes on to say that his opponent is down today by four points in the cnn poll. talk about bad loans and his family's bank is an effort to distract from issues he cares about. >> thank you. an acid attack. two juries and two verdicts. dan ponce has the latest tonight. >> reporter: a very emotional scene here at the criminal courts building just a short while ago. guilty verdicts across the board and a huge victory for the woman who was badly

email and that's the end of it? do you know me? look, bonnie. i know you've been exercising and eating a healthier diet. and that's great. but you wrote that your doctor also wants you on this cholesterol medicine - niaspan. i know - another pill. i get it, i do. but i am not taking no for an answer. if you have high cholesterol and coronary artery disease, and diet and exercise are not enough, niaspan, along with diet and a bile acid-binding resin, is fda-approved not only to slow down plaque buildup but to actually help clear some of it away. bonnie, ever since we were kids, you would do anything for me. i need you to do this for you. if you cannot afford your medication, call 1-877-niaspan. niaspan is not for everyone, like people with stomach ulcers, liver, or serious bleeding problems. severe liver damage can occur when switching to niaspan from immediate-release niacin. blood tests are needed to check for liver problems. tell your doctor if you have muscle pain or weakness; this could be a sign of serious side effects; this risk can increase with statin use. tell your doctor about alcohol use, if you've

ever had gout, or are diabetic and experience increases in blood sugar. flushing, a common side effect, is warmth, redness, itching, or tingling of the skin. ask your doctor about niaspan. fight back. fight plaque. niaspan. ÷ñpp ♪ [ sniffs ] bye! bye! ♪ hi. hey! hey! [ laughter ]
