In Chambers
The judge will see you now. Step into Springfield Bureau Chief Aaron Chambers’ chambers for an insider’s view on Illinois politics and government. No, Chambers isn’t a real judge. At least not in the sense of wearing a robe, wielding a gavel and issuing orders. But like a good judge, Chambers tells it like it is.

‘Break the fire code’

January 3rd, 2008 at 06:56pm Aaron Chambers

A Democratic organizer just complained to a school staffer (I previously misidentified him as a volunteer) that the Dems need more space in the school.

He wants the staffer to open up additional rooms, but the staffer refused. The Dem said he would call the school board and demand more space, but the staffer said he already spoke to his superior, somebody named Jim Wallace, and that he turned a thumbs down.

The Democrat replied, “Then we’re just going to break the fire code,” and walked away in a huff.

Subsequently, another Dem walked over and got abrasive with the staffer. He said all the people waiting for space are taxpayers and that they’re entitled to better service. The school, he complained, must be more “flexible.” Again, the staffer reiterated that he is simply following orders.
