He's Baaaaack!

Groot demonstrating again how little she cares for the unions who helped elected her, decides to employ an asshole that voters wouldn't re-elect:

• Former 45th Ward alderman John Arena may be back on the city payroll. Several aldermen say Arena has been offered the job of labor relations director in the city Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection. The hiring reportedly is contingent on the processing of final paperwork.
  
  The job offer reportedly took place over the objections of department commissioner Rosa Escareno, but the Lightfoot administration has pushed for Arena’s hiring, according to several City Hall sources. A department spokesman said that the department does not comment on personnel matters.
  
  Arena supported Mayor Lori Lightfoot during her mayoral runoff campaign against Toni Preckwinkle, allowing Lightfoot to use his campaign office at 4709 N. Milwaukee Ave. Arena’s support of Lightfoot came as a surprise to some political observers because Preckwinkle and Arena had been close allies in the past. Arena, who could not be reached for comment, needs 2 more years on the city payroll to become eligible for a city pension.

Maybe he'll be wrapped up with indictments regarding his shady zoning practices and alleged shakedowns of northwest side businesses by that time.
