Suspicious white powder that brought police and firefighters to the Daley Center turned out to be drywall dust, officials say.
The powder turned out to be drywall dust, Courtney Greve, a spokeswoman for the county clerk, said in an email.
The office was "quarantined" while a hazardous materials crew investigated, Greve said.
The situation was declared under control by about 10:35 a.m., Greve said.
Thank goodness it wasn't like that white powder they found at HQ a few years back next to the torn bag that said "-unkin -onuts" on it. That one was good for a chuckle or two.
