One of the items I have fought for for years is Excavation Competent Person Class. This training, as I written about prior, is the needed training Chicago Safety Department Employees never provided. I am glad this training is now available. Also the training for the new laborers is a wise investment. John F. Spatz, the Department of Water Management Acting Commissioner, is getting the Department into the 21st century. This will save taxpayers millions of dollars over the long haul. Enough of Clout and Corruption in Chicago. Also thanks to Fran Spielman of the Chicago Sun-Times. Please read. http://www.suntimes.com/news/hired/31568,cst-nws-hired07.article Patrick McDonough
