FILE - In this Dec. 12, 2008 file photo, Michael Shakman, the attorney whose challenge of Chicago's patronage system nearly 40 years ago led to a decree that bans most political hiring, sits in the conference room of his law firm in Chicago. Shakman says the city of Chicago is largely in compliance with bans on the practice and on Thursday, May 15, 2014, filed a motion in U.S. District Court in Chicago asking a judge to end longstanding federal oversight. The city has operated under a federal decree, called the Shakman decree, for years. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green, File)
