I'll take a wait and see on John Di Maggio. I don't know him personally to make a value judgement. I've heard nothing but high regards as to his police career. It would be an asset to the Town of Cicero if Di Maggio accepted the appointment, but it would be an incredible challenge. And that is the key.
History says no.
Many of these officers are being dismissed because they maintain dual residences in and out of Town, a policy that Maltese allowed until it became convenient to do otherwise. In contrast, sources said, Maltese has told Di Maggio he can keep his official residence in Henderson. That won't set a proper standard. And when it comes to Cicero benefits paid for by the taxpayers, Maltese doesn't mind giving away the store. Just ask the insurers who paid out big bucks for the policies given to people like her father, Roy Loren, a part time Cicero worker.
