Frank Kruesi
Mayor Daley on Thursday named the former CTA chief, a longtime but controversial friend and adviser, to head the city’s Washington office. Kruesi’s new job is to, in Daley’s words, “help make sure our relationship with the federal government is as productive as it can be toward helping to improve the quality of life for all Chicagoans.”
Don Imus
Nearly eight months after he was fired for making racially and sexually disparaging remarks about the Rutgers women’s basketball team, Don Imus went back on the radio at 6 a.m. Monday and vowed he would not say anything like that again. He also introduced two new cast members — a black woman, Karith Foster, and a black man, Tony Powell, both of them comedians — saying they would join him in conducting “an ongoing discussion about race relations in this country.”
Old Man Winter
Chicago got its first major winter storm of the season Tuesday, with more than 5 inches of snow falling in the city. The weather wreaked havoc on commutes and delayed some flights in and out of O’Hare, followed by plunging temperatures. A third storm is forecast for Saturday, according to the weather service.
