That’s one tough mom
James O’Neill isn’t hung up on titles, but you might want to watch what you say around the mother of the man who runs the county’s detention center.
“Why can’t we call you warden?” asked Council Chairman Kevin Kamenetz, as O’Neill came up to testify on a bill at the Aug. 4 meeting.
“You can, but my mom doesn’t like it,” O’Neill replied. “As long as you do it without my mom around, you’re OK.”
“So what do they call you in the ‘big house’?” Kamenetz asked.
“Mr. O’Neill,” deadpanned the detention center director (hey, his mom might be reading this).
