The Chicago Tribune quotes Michael Pagano, dean of the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs, on the embezzlement of $30 million from the government of Dixon, Ill., by its treasurer. Pagano says the commission form of government, in which each council member is responsible for a city function, doesn’t necessarily result in professional oversight. http://trib.in/IdD35V
