Former FBI SAC John Bell Named Inspector Gen. of Detroit Schools

If ever there was a school system in dire straights, it’s Detroit. The good news is that emergency manager Robert Bobb, the former deputy mayor of D.C. is there to help. He’s top notch. And now they’ve brought in another person of integrity, John E. Bell Jr., as inspector general. Bell is the former special agent in charge of the Detroit office and is no stranger to the shenanigans of the city that have helped put it behind the eight ball.
