CHICAGO (CBS) A top Emanuel administration official was embarrassed Thursday when a rather large bug showed up while he was testifying at a Budget Committee hearing.
WBBM Newsradio Political Editor Craig Dellimore reports Chicago Fleet and Facility Management Commissioner David Reynolds was talking to aldermen about aging equipment, when a very large roach was spotted crawling on the west wall of the City Council Chambers.
Reynolds said the timing was ironic, given pest control is part of his departments job.
I was mortified, he said. One of our duties is pest control. Its an old building with lots of people in it, so we very routinely do treatments for cockroaches and other pets. We often just end up chasing them around.

Did he have any comment on that?
None whatsoever, Reynolds said.

(6,185 posts)Since 31 of our aldermen have gone up the river since 1970 and a dozen other were indicted by the Feds and beat the rap, I'm guessing they recognized one of their own and let it be.
OTOH could have been a relation of Rahm's.
