Two Sanitation chiefs responsible for South Brooklyn are being reassigned, according to sources in the Bloomberg administration.
NBCNewYork has learned they are Brooklyn South Assistant Chief Joseph Montgomery who supervises 12 sanitation districts where the snow removal efforts were particularly troublesome.
Brooklyn South Deputy Chief Joseph Susol, who was on night duty during the storm, will also be removed from his position and assigned to a different area.
Three out of twelve of the current districts in Brooklyn South will be transfered to the Brooklyn North command zone, which only contains six districts. City sources say the redistribution will create a better balance of districts.

Thats a copout. They should not be reassigned, if they need to be fired, they should be fired.
With city unions, its easier to shuffle people around than to fire them. A have members of the board of ed in my family, they discuss how principals get together how to trade each others headaches. They know they can’t get rid of the incompetents outright, but trade them away to other districts in return for their problems.
