Oh Luberman

Bad penny keeps turning up:

• After leaving city government four years ago, Ron Huberman started his own firm, which is getting business from some of the same government-financed charter-school operators he championed as then-Mayor Richard M. Daley’s schools chief, a Chicago Sun-Times investigation has found.
  
  Huberman, who is a member of Gov.-elect Bruce Rauner’s transition team, founded TeacherMatch LLC in 2011.
  
  The company has since gotten contracts worth a total of more than $200,000 from two of the largest Chicago Public Schools-funded charter operators — the Noble Network of Charter Schools and the United Neighborhood Organization’s charter network — and also has gotten work from some schools in the Chicago International Charter Schools network, records and interviews show.
  
  TeacherMatch, which provides software to help schools screen job applicants, reported total revenues in 2013 of more than $286,000, according to school contracting records.
  
  That same year, it got an infusion of nearly $1.9 million from investors, the records show — a sign of confidence in its future growth.
  
  Huberman continues to serve as the company’s executive chairman, though records list its primary owner as Prairie Capital, the Chicago private-equity firm where Huberman has been a top executive since 2011.

A guy who went from Patrolman to Exempt, then couldn't hold a job for more than two years in how many city departments? CPD, OEMC, Chief of Staff, Schools, CTA to name a few. Now he's knee deep in city contracts for schools that have something like a 50% failure rate. The City That Works!
