2009_12_04_sneed.jpg CTA President Richard Rodriguez denied a report by the Sun-Times gossip columnist Michael Sneed (pictured right) that indicated he was prepping to leave local government for the private sector, causing a City Hall Shuffle. According to Sneed:

  • Rodriguez is prepping to leave which would mean...
  • Current City Hall Chief of Staff Paul Volpe would take over the CTA, which would lead to...
  • City Aviation chief Rosemarie Andolino taking over for Volpe as new Chief of Staff and concluding with...
  • Deputy chief of staff Pat Harney becoming the new aviation head.

But Rodriguez told CBS 2 via a spokesperson that the report was "not true."
