Mayor Daley conspicuously refused today to give embattled Fire Commissioner John Brooks a vote of confidence, dodging questions about Brooks’ flippant response to an underling’s sexual harassment allegation.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported last week that a payroll auditor in the Chicago Fire Department had accused Brooks of calling her repeatedly, coming on to her sexually and targeting her to be laid off from her city job when she refused his advances.
That's pretty much a brush off and a heave-ho over the side of the bus there. As a commentator said, if this was private industry, it's a non issue because all the involved parties are out the door in a heartbeat. Corporations don't mess around with this anymore because it's a guaranteed loser in court. Of course, the Machine has never minded paying out with taxpayer funds - it's not like it's their money.
