Want to see what a rip-off the Olympics would have been? Check out CPS boss Huberman's deal with Motorola.

Talk about dodging a bullet. Chicagoans in the neighborhoods are breathing a little easier this afternoon, now that the IOC decided to screw Rio instead of Chicago.

While boss Daley swore it wouldn’t cost the people of Chicago a dime, who really believed that story.

We see a little taste of what would have been in today’s Sun-Times story on CPS school boss Ron Huberman and his sweetheart deal with Motorola. Millions of dollars for stuff we didn’t want and never got.

Chicago schools chief Ron Huberman — Mayor Daley’s former corruption-fighting chief of staff — is being accused of a “significant management failure” that set the stage for alleged contract irregularities at the city’s 911 center that cost taxpayers $2.25 million.

In an explosive new report, the city inspector general’s office characterizes Huberman as so derelict in the oversight of a contract with Motorola while he was executive director of the Office of Emergency Management and Communications that he should be suspended if he still worked for the city.
