City Council proving again 'Chicago ain't ready for reform'

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
The City Council is proving once again that legendary Ald. Paddy Bauler was right when he said, “Chicago ain’t ready for reform.”

In 2009, aldermen balked at then-Mayor Richard M. Daley’s plan to give Inspector General Joe Ferguson the power to investigate them.

Instead, they created their own inspector general, tied his hands into a pretzel and waited 18 months — until after the February 2011 aldermanic election — to fill the job with Faisal Khan.
Ready for bankruptcy.
