More Scandal?

People just keep resigning over in Daley's office, but no one knows why:

• Mayor Daley’s $169,020 chief procurement officer abruptly resigned Tuesday, spinning the revolving door in a department that has struggled to boost black contracting and weed out minority fronts.

  Montel Gayles was appointed in January 2008 to replace Barbara Lumpkin, who resigned after two years on the job.

  Less than three months later, Gayles embarrassed and infuriated Daley with kid-gloves treatment of James Duff, head of a mob-connected family that became the poster child for minority business fraud in Chicago.

He treated an Outfit connected family with kid gloves? Isn't that what Daley does all the time? He's been photographed numerous times with connected individuals, his administration awards them contracts on a regular basis, his family tree is intertwined with mob related persons. We figured it was "Family" courtesy.
