With the city, county and state approaching economic cliffs, not one candidate has stated a plan, even a first step of a long term approach. Rauner lacked the courage to present a budget so a decade long solution to pension commitments was out of the question. If JB has any thoughts on the subject, I haven't heard them. Even the multi billion dollar professional sports world, that likes selling to city kids, can't find a way to manufacture in the inner cities. Colin, Chance, I know you are trying. Try prying some jobs out of the marketing machine of pro sports. Sorry I can't vote for you this time Toni, good luck with the City Council.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613528527379198505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-35359161141695246752018-09-28T22:58:07.421-05:002018-09-28T22:58:07.421-05:00True.

She may even turn it into a positive: She can make tough, unpopular decisions and also, when appropriate, bend without breaking. <br /><br />I admire her. I can't vote for her because I don't live in the city, but I live in Cook County so I have voted for her in other elections.Tony Galatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944671504245191140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-84072484441051556272018-09-28T20:06:29.906-05:002018-09-28T20:06:29.906-05:00Whoever runs against Preckwinkle is just going to ...Whoever runs against Preckwinkle is just going to hammer her over that soda tax.Bitter Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04645909858616987997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-49962259146695004752018-09-28T19:50:03.386-05:002018-09-28T19:50:03.386-05:00Why would anyone want the challenge?

I know she's much more savvy than Jane Byrne was, but Chicago turned on her before she ever screwed anything up.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.com
