Former city Inspector General Joe Ferguson to lead Civic Federation
The group’s former leader — public finance expert Laurence Msall — died unexpectedly in February. Ferguson assumes the role Jan. 16.
Msall was a wizard of public finance, someone who knew the ins and outs of city and state budgeting and had a keen eye for cost-effective approaches to government.
Ferguson brings a different background and perspective as a former federal prosecutor and good government advocate who spent 12 years as a tenacious city watchdog for Chicago.
Reset talks to Ferguson about his plans for the Civic Federation.
