"...Not That Safety Matters" (Chicago Tribune Editorial, 01/21/07)
Forced to admit they'd hired an unqualified 19-year-old building inspector whose father just happened to be a top union boss, city officials quickly got rid of the teenager. But the former Buildings Department deputy who rigged a job interview score to make sure the kid got hired is still taking home a six-digit city paycheck, more than two years later.
Inspector General David Hoffman, the former federal prosecutor hired by Daley to clean up City Hall, said Kozicki should be fired because his actions created a public safety risk. Hoffman is absolutely right.
