Weis to Walk At End of Day

In what is a stunning turn of events, NBC Chicago is reporting that Police Superintendent Jody Weis is set to leave his post at the end of the day.

Mayor Daley has said previously that he wanted to keep Weis as Superintendent through the end of his term in May. But a meeting between the two today stalled over Weis's insistence on a written contract extension through then. Without that contract, Weis is set to walk and it looks as though he will.

The anonymous cop blogger behind Second City Cop notes that there are protocols in place for the Police Department to operate without a superintendent, right after he reiterated the reasons few in the rank-and-file would be sad to see him go.
