Fritzwire reports that Arne Duncan, Obama’s incoming Secretary of Education, will take with him Peter Cunningham, Duncan’s current communications “guru.”
Fitzwire says: “Feared and loathed by critics of CPS, Cunningham helped engineer a long string of good news about Duncan and the Chicago school system. He also spent six years as head speechwriter for Mayor Daley, and did stints working for other politicos before that (Hartigan, Burris (!), Burke). A bit of a character, Cunningham is often seen at local music venues like The Hideout. He plays in a band and his daughter is a musician.”
Between what Americans for the Arts’ on-the-ground peeps say (”he’s a good guy”) and the musician thing, we’re happy.
