CHICAGO (AP) - The head of security at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport has been fired. O’Hare is where a passenger was dragged off a United Airlines flight by airport security this month, but Thursday’s announcement by the Department of Aviation simply states Jeffrey Redding “has been terminated from his duties” at O’Hare and Midway airports. No reason was given.

His (I am sure) excessive salary will now be used to subsidize the Dr’s settlement payment.
The 2 goons in the video may soon contribute too.

was fired from the Tollway in 2015 after a female employee alleged that Redding sought sex and money in exchange for work-related favors. He denied any coercion and maintained that his relationship with the woman, a toll collector, was consensual.

Maybe I'm driving the wrong roads, but in all my years on this earth I've never met a hot toll collector...

How could you when all the hot ones are in the back offering sex and money in exchange for work related favors?

Purely a coincidence, had nothing to do with his firing, I'm sure.

Correct me if needed. This guy has been fired from two different public entities. Both are large paychecks. The second one had to know about the first one. Are we talking Rahm? Obama? Jackson? etc...

Jeffrey Redding, the city’s deputy aviation commissioner of security, was fired.

Redding was fired from the Chicago Tollway in August 2016.

Just wait, in a few months this clown, Redding, will be hired by the Chicago Public Schools.

It is very common for the government to pass their rejects around the system at the taxpayers expense.

Drain the Swamp.

A news report in the link posted earlier by stylin19a, reported:

The city fired the head of security at O'Hare and Midway airports Thursday for what City Hall sources said was his failure to disclose critical details of his prior employment at the Illinois Tollway,

Last week, City Aviation Commissioner Ginger Evans told the Tribune she didn't know about the confidential Tollway memo concerning the allegations when she interviewed Redding, a former Chicago policeman, for the job. She said she recalled his explanation for leaving the Tollway, where he was chief of toll operations, was that he was swept out by an incoming administration.

However, the Tollway, in response to Tribune questions, said Redding was fired "after multiple violations of Illinois Tollway personnel policy and procedures were identified and disclosed to him including improper communications and a complete disregard for his position."

It all makes clear he was fired due to circumstances now revealed about his prior employment with the tollway authority. However, those who did the hiring for the aviation authority should also be fired because they obviously did not properly vet the guy when they hired him. It was not just that he did not tell them things, they did not check. Why you imagine? The political elite in Chicago does not need to do such things. Word of mouth among each other is good enough for them. It's like a private club.

“Supporters of the Paris accord have their own memo drafted by lawyers in the State Department. That memo says that by sending the agreement to the Senate, the president would be giving up important powers and leave Mr. Trump and his successors open to congressional meddling.”

My question is: “Why are there any lawyers in the State Department doing anything of the kind?” This is what’s pi$$ing me off about the aspect of the new administration that seems not to be doing enough to send the “holdovers” down the road.

This is typical of the government “worker” parasites, Fail and be given a job elsewhere to keep you on the gravy train. Typical BS foisted on the unwitting taxpayer.

“Consensual” is the new most-obnoxious buzzword, after “sustainable.”

Reading between the lines, someone is doing a colonoscopy on the Chicago Dept of Aviation after the Dao dragging incident.

This may be just the first body.
