Fire Chief Sherman George’s in-house rating at City Hall was downgraded recently, supposedly as a reflection on his managerial skills, but notably, the downgrade went into effect after the EYE noticed that Chief George had filed a complaint against his direct supervisor, Sam Simon, director of public safety, for allegedly interfering in his ability to do his job. The EYE will follow this situation closely, as the only evidence against Chief George seems to come from his superiors and seems to have nothing to do with his proven ability to lead the department.
