The Real-Life Batman of City Hall
Imagine Gotham City, but with potholes and deep-dish pizza. Now, picture Batman, but instead of fighting Joker and Penguin, he's battling bureaucracy and graft. That’s basically the Inspector General's job. They're the caped crusader of city hall, always ready to swoop in and save the day from corruption, waste, and abuse of power.
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.
Meet the Vigilante of Virtue
Currently, the person holding this prestigious (and stressful) position is Joseph M. Ferguson. He's like the Sherlock Holmes of city government, always digging deep, following the clues, and bringing bad guys to justice. Or, at least, to disciplinary action.
Tip: Write down what you learned.
Ferguson is no stranger to the world of law enforcement. Before becoming the Inspector General, he spent a whopping 15 years with the United States Attorney's Office. So, if you're thinking of pulling a fast one on the city, think again. This guy knows a thing or two about catching crooks.
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.

So, What Does This Superhero Actually Do?
The Inspector General's office is basically the city's internal affairs department on steroids. They investigate complaints, conduct audits, and uncover all sorts of shady dealings. Think of them as the city's conscience, making sure everyone is playing fair.
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
If you suspect something fishy is going on in city government, you can file a complaint with the Office of the Inspector General. Just don't expect them to come swooping in with a dramatic cape and a cool gadget. They're more likely to show up with a clipboard and a really good pen.
