Chicago Still Running Hiring Scam: Federal Monitor Says

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Hiring abuses continue at City Hall nearly three years after the conviction of Mayor Daley’s former patronage chief — including some in the Department of Streets and Sanitation where former commissioner Al Sanchez is accused of rigging hiring and promotions, a federal monitor has concluded.

Noelle Brennan’s latest report to U.S. District Judge Wayne Andersen will not only embarrass the Daley administration. It’s almost certain to undermine the city’s efforts to get out from under the federal Shakman decree.
No word yet from Alderman Burke, the man in charges of Chicago's finances since 1983(minus a couple of years in the 1980's).
