Currently, every sector of city government is subject to oversight except the Chicago City Council.
"If we are to restore the public's trust, we first must demonstrate the we in the City Council are not above the law," said Moore. "Next, we must ensure the inspector general is not some hand-picked critical crony of the mayor or the City Council but someone vetted by a respected panel of outside experts."
The new proposal would also extend the term of the inspector general from the current four years to a six-year term.
