CHICAGO (AP) -- Jury selection is getting under way at the trial of a millionaire Chicago real estate developer accused of bribing an alderman to push through a zoning change.

Developer Calvin Boender (BOON'-der) is charged with showering $40,000 worth of home improvements on former Alderman Isaac Carothers in return for the rezoning of the Galewood Yards neighborhood.

He also is charged with providing Carothers with free meals and sports tickets and funneling illegal campaign contributions to a Carothers relative.

Carothers has pleaded guilty and is expected to be a government witness.

Federal Judge Robert Dow says jury selection may take all day Tuesday. But he says lawyers could get to opening statements if jury selection moves fast enough.
