- Michael Shields is rumored to be one of the top candidates for the job of Chicago Police Superintendent. But some Chicago neighbors want to do a better job of policing his own rental property.
Shields has a high-profile resume. He is a former deputy superintendent, current head of security at Chicago Public Schools, and a cousin of First Lady Michelle Obama.
But residents of the one South Side block said they have a question for Shields: "Where's the landlord?"
Wonder of wonders, in Shortshanks' haste to crack down on problem buildings and landlords, this one isn't really on the radar. Probably not enough to derail the "Shields for Superintendent" train, but it's definitely a sign that "business as usual" is alive and well in Chicago.
