Chicago’s mayoral office appears to be stonewalling the city’s inspector general. The IG’s office has been attempting to audit a new garbage collection plan that supposedly could save $18 million a year, but can’t get the information it needs to do so.
The city’s new garbage collection system switched in June 2012 to a new grid-based system from one that was based on official city ward lines. The new system test lasted until April 2013, when Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced his office had determined that there would be $18 million in savings after the system was in place for a year.
