And so it begins. I woke to news on the radio this morning that Mayor Elect Rahm Emanuel's transition team has hit a "small speed bump." It appears, one member of the seven-member team, Judy Erwin, was recently found guilty of violating state ethics rules while executive director of the Illinois Board of Higher Education.
Erwin claims she didn't tell the Emanuel campaign about this little problem but, of course, that's the same as a head coach of a football team getting caught in a sex scandal and then claiming he's retiring to "spend more time with my family." It's standard procedure. Defend the team.
There's also no surprise that Emanuel would appoint someone like this to his transition team. She's apparently guilty of what, I suspect, is standard operating procedure for Emanuel and, hence, to be expected by his underlings.
I hate to say "I told you so." No, actually, I don't mind saying it at all. The only thing that surprises me as that the worm began to turn so quickly. And, like I said, so it begins.
P.S. apparently she was also involved with the Obama campaign. Anyone surprised by that, too?
Emanuel's staff vetted Erwin but claims not to have come across the information about Erwin's missteps. Who believes that? And little babies are delivered by the Tooth Fairy, too.
ReplyDeleteAnother example of arrogance from a man who merely assumes the real Rahm can fly under the radar.
