John Kass strikes gold again. 2 More Members Join a Society on the Move:

Let's welcome two new members into the Society of the PLMSRCS. Everybody knows this snappy acronym: the Society of People Lord Mayor Shortshanks Really Can't Stand.

One is David Hoffman, the city's inspector general. Mayor Richard Daley appointed him to investigate City Hall corruption. Trouble is, Hoffman is good at his job.
...

Now Hoffman's credibility is under attack, and the mayor is all smiles. If Hoffman opens his mouth, the mayoral attack dogs will accuse him of playing politics and drag him into the mud. The mayor knows he can't get rid of Hoffman without first getting rid of Hoffman's stellar reputation.

Daley is the Reformer Man around here. And don't you forget it. Except you David Hoffman. You keep doing what you're doing.
