Chicago official 'astounded' after report on TV channel questions spending of public money on libraries
Chicago's public library commissioner has hit back at a report on WFLD Television that suggested libraries are a "waste of tax money", saying that the argument posed by a story broadcast on the station was a "non-starter" and that a contributor who suggested salaries in the public sector were higher than those in the private sector was "simply wrong".
