Chicago Aviation Department official David Ochal resigned Friday, just days after drawing public criticism for allegedly using clout to provide electricity to his home when his Northwest Side neighborhood lost power in Monday night’s storm.
The Department of Aviation issued a news release stating that Mr. Ochal, who was first deputy commissioner, has left the department after eight years.

Property tax bills are about to hit Chicago mailboxes — and it’s gonna hurt. Poor, heavily minority neighborhoods trying to make a rebound will get the worst of it.

The Tribune quoted a letter from Daniel Degnan, warning that undisirable consequences were sure come if the Cook County Board does not approve borrowing an additional $740 million. “We may be forced to liquidate assets potentially realizing investment losses due to the current market conditions,” said Degnan. Creative accounting buzzwords aside, he basically said that the county may have to use its own money if the county can’t borrow someone else’s. Man these guys are a joke! How long can we let this go on?
