More Scandal?

People just keep resigning over in Daley's office, but no one knows why:
  • Mayor Daley’s $169,020 chief procurement officer abruptly resigned Tuesday, spinning the revolving door in a department that has struggled to boost black contracting and weed out minority fronts.

    Montel Gayles was appointed in January 2008 to replace Barbara Lumpkin, who resigned after two years on the job.

    Less than three months later, Gayles embarrassed and infuriated Daley with kid-gloves treatment of James Duff, head of a mob-connected family that became the poster child for minority business fraud in Chicago.

He treated an Outfit connected family with kid gloves? Isn't that what Daley does all the time? He's been photographed numerous times with connected individuals, his administration awards them contracts on a regular basis, his family tree is intertwined with mob related persons. We figured it was "Family" courtesy.

Here's hoping his next assignment is with Fitz and the Witness Protection Program.

Maybe some are getting out before Daley sacrifices them to promote his corrupt aganda. Maybe some can already see the corruption surrounding Daley's olympic legacy. For all the corrupt deals Daley has been involved in over the years(I know, he knew nothing) I can only imagine the levels of corruption that will surround the olympics. It has to be astronomical!!!

Montel GAYLES, political hack extraordinaire:

Would you tell the not so "handicapped" Patricia the Parasite to pull that disability placard off her mirror, reregister her auto plates at her actual Vine Street residence and voting address (NOT suburban Lombard) and buy a city sticker like the rest of us in the 43rd Ward?

While gainfully employed by the USPS, does this shameless tax deadbeat also use a LINK card, Montel?

The Sgt. Schultz act- "I know nothing!" isn't even funny anymore.
Daley is a blind man standing up to his neck in a flood of corruption, feeling nothing. He's not worried though; he knows how to swim.

He was never anything more than a fall guy, as is anyone who is "head" of anything in the Daley administration. You are told to oversee certain things, but when you try to do your job you are overruled. The when the sh!t hits the fan, you are to blame.

At least he got about 18 months of 6 figure income out of the deal. I hope Daley arranged for a cush private sector job as a reward.

Chief of procurement? That has to be the worst job in the world...you have to make sure everybody get$ their$. Yea folks, it's all legit. Now let's start "procuring" for
Fraud-O'lymics. That's where the real money is going to be made and the millions upon millions of fraudulent "overpayments" will be made. This city can't do daily business w/out fraud, how do they expect the Olympics to be run ala Chicago style??? The city taxpayer is screwed.

Wasn't Shortshanks the one who criticized former Mayor Jane Byrne for having a "revolving door" administration? The door is spinning off its foundation with the Midget and company.

Mayor Daley sr was the subject of alot of gang member's conversation while they were being interviewed on American Gangster.It was stated that dad Daley was a gangbanger in Bridgeport and did his share of terrorizing. He became Mayor and help alot of the city's gangs. I guess richie is just following in daddy's foot steps. APEEEEEEEEZZZ THE GANGS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
