The Sun-Times reports that Chicago Public Schools CEO Forrest Claypool is being accused of lying to investigators and the CPS Inspector General has called for him to be fired:
Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s schools chief “repeatedly lied†to investigators and engaged in a “full-blown cover-up†of behavior that he and the top attorney for Chicago Public Schools engaged in over the past 20 months, the CPS inspector general says in a report released Thursday.
In a blistering, 103-page document he sent Tuesday to the Chicago Board of Education, Inspector General Nicholas Schuler said he was “left with no recourse but to conclude†that the board should fire CPS CEO Forrest Claypool.
“Claypool greatly compounded the severity of his misconduct when he repeatedly lied to the [inspector general’s office] through two separate interviews,†Schuler wrote.
But Emanuel rushed to Claypool’s defense after the release of the report. And Frank Clark, the president of the school board — whose members were chosen by Emanuel — also has praised Claypool since getting the report.
The misconduct primarily has to do with the relationship between Mr. Claypool and the law firm of which he had formerly been a partner with suggestions of various corrupt activities.
Always interesting how certain law firms prosper when a partner selflessly takes up public service and the way a legislator/council man’s law firm gets covered up with corporate and governmental work or becomes a paid lobbyist for the cities/counties in their district.
Good work by your brother…….
No relation, actually.
Apparently it really just amounted to a conflict of interest situation………..and then the coverup.
Doesn’t seem to bother Robert Mueller………
OT- Another article looking at high deductibles and effects on spending. Not having the effects market oriented people would hope.

It looks like most patients can’t tell in advance which procedures will be “low value”.
