I have zero basis for an opinion about Salvador Salort-Pons but, in a sign of the times, the DIA's big enchilada is attracting notice all across the political spectrum from morons who have less than zero basis writing for rags like the National Review, World Socialist Review, etc.
Here the issue as to which fairy can best run the DIA has been joined to the broader war as to who cancels whom being fought by fascists and Jacobins alike.

6 out of 54 board members resigned largely over ethics violations regarding things like nepotism and a hostile work environment. The DIA decided to keep him on under monitoring. Sounds like a fairly reasonable result for now

Agreed, it may be reasonable for now. But what interests me is how the man's tenure in Detroit have become a political cause célèbre with articles like these:
