CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Fired CPD Supt. Eddie Johnson and ousted Law Department spokesman land on
city’s do-not-hire list Better Government Association CEO David Greising says
putting Johnson on the list can probably be justified, though including Bill
McCaffrey is more questionable and might warrant a fresh look at the criteria.
– Fran Spielman (DIERSEN: QUESTION: What will put you on the do-not-hire list
in Democrat/Libertarian/Green/RINO Illinois? ANSWER: Oppose patronage,
political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age
discrimination.)
