Cline resigns

It was bound to happen. Phil Cline will be stepping down as superintendent as soon as his replacement is named. Lot of speculation on who's going to take over, including mention of our old boss, current mayoral chief of staff R.H.

It seems unlikely if you look at it logically, but how much logic does the mayor run the city with? If ever there was a "policeman" who Daley knew was in his pocket, it would be R.H.

And mark our words, if he's named superintendent, police officers won't be the only ones crying. He'll make sure he plays a hand in making our jobs miserable again. Unless you dispatchers have forgotten the micromanaging way he ran OEMC, and drove morale into the ground with the help of L.L and M.K. We can only hope that the promotion of the new Deputy Director, under who morale has been better in two months than it was in three and a half years under the previous Acting Deputy Director, won't be overshadowed and be for naught due to the indirect return of the most hands-on-yet-knowledge-of-the-job-lacking boss we've had in OEC's twelve years.

P.S. Yeah, we've been gone for a while. So? Everyone deserves a break now and then.
