Rahm Still in Daley's Pocket: Daley Will Still Get Bodyguards at Chicago Taxpayer Expense

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Mayor Rahm Emanuel is cutting in half — from six active-duty Chicago police officers to three — the bodyguard detail that accompanied former Mayor Richard M. Daley into retirement.

Starting Thursday, Daley and his wife, Maggie, will be protected by the scaled-down detail of three active-duty officers, while the other three officers are returned to street duty, sources said Monday.

The new detail will continue to have access to two city vehicles, but only when necessary. When the vehicles are not needed, they will be returned to the Police Department’s motor pool.

Great moments in Blue America.
