I'm letting all of you know here and now, that this process King Daley has in-place is Unconstitutional.

There is nothing "reasonable" about the additional "fees" King Daley has imposed upon the citizens of this city. It is nothing more then gouging the people of money. These are not fees, but additional taxes on the people so he can, and will pad his little campaign war chest before he skips town. What sense does it make to have citizens travel into the suburbs for "training classes", finding "certified instructors", and spend additional funds just to meet his edict?

I do so hope that someone out there is challenging this unconstitutional fiasco this money-grubbing clown has stuck its citizens with. This guy shows nothing but utter contempt for the people he swore to serve. The same applies to his lock-step alder-manic council that he, not us, employed. That "fee" is nothing more then an additional tax and must be ruled unconstitutional because it is clearly unreasonable, given that there are no certified instructors, and training facilities within the city limits.

This permit process is expensive, unreasonable, and absolutely unconstitutional.
