Rahm Emanuel nearly swept black neighborhoods in mayoral victory - Chicago Sun-Times
Well so much for certain people telling you this is your "consensus candidate".
What these figures tell me, is that people are really fed up with the crime, corruption, and greed that's been going on in this city for some time. Just look at Alderman Burke. Why on this earth does he need taxpayer provided police officers as his security force? Doesn't he siphon enough from the taxpayers with all his extra pay? All of them have an "Expense Account". They get extra taxpayer dollars for sitting on different committees. Why? Can't they do that job with just the pay they ran for as alderman/women? Seems a fair question. I mean, the city is facing a budget crisis after-all. Seems for any reasonable person, a demonstration of sacrifice should be in order.
In the real world, elected officials are supposed to represent their constituents, Never themselves. But in bizarro world, that IS the case. That may be why Mr. Hendon quit. He may have assumed the "Sheep" would fall in line. Never assume is the lesson here.
