Making Way for Obama in Chicago
Almost as soon as the election results were in, Barack Obama's team moved in to a suite of transition offices in the Kluczynski Federal Building in downtown Chicago. So how was the General Services Administration, which has the responsibility of making office arrangements for transition teams, able to move so quickly to free up the space? I'm told that GSA employees themselves made the sacrifice. Renovations recently were completed on a part of the building slated to be occupied by a GSA unit. But when Obama won, employees of that unit were told they wouldn't be moving in to their new digs until after Inauguration Day.
