Mayor Richard Daley keeps pushing for an ordinance that would let the Chicago Inspector General investigate members of the City Council. In recent days, Daley's lobbyist has met behind closed doors with the city's top watchdog to win support for the measure. Aldermen are concerned that the inspector general -- who is nominated by Daley under current law -- is too reliant on the mayor's support to be truly independent. They are also worried that the IG's office will be given additional responsibilities without being provided additional funding.
