"Report rips Huberman's oversight of contracts--Inspector general says 'management failure' cost city $2.25 million"
No wonder the schools in Chicago are in such rotten shape. When your city is ruled by patronage, corruption, and political hacks it's not a surprise that the educational product (you know, like the 50% drop out rate) is so absolutely horrible.
"Chicago schools chief Ron Huberman -- Mayor Daley's former corruption-fighting chief of staff -- is being accused of a "significant management failure" that set the stage for alleged contract irregularities at the city's 911 center that cost taxpayers $2.25 million.
In an explosive new report, the city inspector general's office characterizes Huberman as so derelict in the oversight of a contract with Motorola while he was executive director of the Office of Emergency Management and Communications that he should be suspended if he still worked for the city."
