Good Question

The Detroit Free Press editorial asks, "Where were DPS accountants when $57 million disappeared?"

Who could have been surprised to read that Stephen Hill, a former risk-management officer for the troubled school district, is accused of diverting $57 million for phony contracts? Even the irony here -- someone in charge of risk management ripping off his employer -- fails to shock, given the steady stream of news about how thoroughly corrupt city schools have been.

In another story, they note that Cook County officials rescinded a job offer to Hill after the newspaper contacted them and the officials Googled the stories and a lawsuit against him.
