Chicago director of financial analysis put on administrative leave says he isn’t being allowed to do his job – Chicago Sun-Times

A bizarre standoff has developed in the office created 10 years ago to provide the City Council with independent advice on financial issues and avoid a repeat of the parking meter fiasco.  Budget Committee Chair Jason Ervin (28th) wants his colleagues to empower him to dump Kenneth Williams Sr. as the $123,000-a-year director of the Council’s Office of Financial Analysis after Williams refused to leave to make way for a director of Ervin’s choosing.
