DUI Leads To Loss Of Job For Homelessness Official
A Chicago deputy commissioner charged with providing shelter and emergency services for Chicago's homeless is now jobless after a DUI accident in Uptown last week. Read about it in the Sun-Times.
J-Lo will not be missed by his staff or by those in Uptown who live near the parks, where homeless camp and drink and use the parks as their toilets. In the mid-90's the Dept of Human Service North Region cooperated with police to sweep the parks. In those sweeps the homeless van offered services and rides to shelters each night but where firm that persons could not camp there overnight. Sexual assaults, regular assaults, and robberies where greatly reduced.
Then J-Lo came along and drank the Shiller Kool-Aid and we were right back where we were before, with the likes of Pookie making the public parks their summer home, brothel, tavern and toilet.
J-Lo will also not be missed by his staff, who found him to be a tempermental tyrant and impediment in performing their job.
Now if we could just get his boss, Sheila McGill to take a few sips of the brew and get behind the wheel..... We might actually get someone in charge of Human Services in Uptown who has the right credentials, personality, and work ethic to perform the job.
That's some poor decision making on Mr. Lobianco's part, but I'm not sure a resignation was required.
ReplyDeleteThe city allows the personal use of the vehicles, so it's not as if he was in his official capacity when this happened.
Regardless, I'm glad no one was hurt. It could have turned out much, much worse.
