The proposal provides a minimum level of funding for the inspector general’s office, but Ald. Joe Moore, 49th, who proposed a similar measure last year, said the level of funding specified in Daley’s proposal would not increase funding to the office.
As a result, the inspector general’s staff could be spread thin between investigating the Daley administration and City Council, if aldermen approve the changes as is, Moore said. Moore’s proposal called for a minimum funding level that was 50 percent greater than Daley’s.

In some respects that’s not the end of any such effort because budgets could later change that minimum amount, but that should be the absolute lowest funding the Council should accept.
