School Chief Not a Resident

The CTU points out that the head of the CPS isn't even a resident of Chicago, an apparent violation of Chicago Ordinance and a fire-able offense:

• Barbara Byrd Bennett -- the latest quarter million dollar a year "Chief Executive Officer" appointed since Mayor Rahm Emanuel's inauguration less than two years ago -- may be giving speeches about how the proposed closing of 53 Chicago public schools is not "racist", but she hasn't been in Chicago long enough to know the city. She's also been telling the Board and some reporters how she is insulted by the implication that all of her promises are meaningless because she won't be around Chicago in a year (or less).
  
  But if her choice of residences and her voter registration are any guide to what she really feels, her heart is still in Ohio, not in Illinois or Chicago. As of April 2013, she is a registered voter in Ohio, where she has an opulent home in suburban Cleveland, the city where her controversial financial practices as school chief were questioned years ago.
  
  If Barbara Byrd Bennett were a Chicago teacher today, she would be another exhibit in the annual report of the Inspector General. The IGs energies are largely devoted to persecuting Chicago teachers and other school workers for violations of the CPS residency rule. Chicago teachers must live in Chicago, and investigators from the IG’s office routinely are tracking down miscreants who really live outside the city. Having a sham home in Chicago is not enough if your real home is in, say, Winnetka. But there has been no explanation for her ability to rise above the law, and the Inspector General’s office in not interested in bringing her to justice – in the form of firing her for violating residency.
  

Rules for thee, but not for me?

Make a note - this could come in handy for anyone trying to live outside the corporate boundaries of Chicago.
