Times are tough, but crime is down :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Chicago Crime


Mixed messages much? This article states crime is down, yet there is another article within this paper, stating crime is soaring on the "CTA". That's the cities public transportation system for those that may not live here.

So the question that needs asking, did they forget about crime on public transportation? Mixed messages indeed.

All I can say is we just have to wait and see, any signs of improvement. That includes these senseless killings committed by terrorist gang members.

I only have several questions about this article. Why did it not mention the "Missing Funds" from this program? Have the funds been recovered? And if so, why haven't we heard about it?

Other then that, expect some dirty, backroom dealing. Remember, follow the money.

Now this would be very interesting if she decides to run. That is all.

Dart, Meeks take top two in first Chicago mayor poll :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Carol Marin


Not really a fan of the amount of people polled, it would seem more logical if they did at the very least, a 1ooo people.


600, in my opinion isn't a very good representation. It's like they said unto themselves, let's ask 200 Whites, 200 Blacks, and 200 Hispanics, and just left it at that. Just my two cents. Nevertheless, no campaign ads have appeared, and no official announcements have been made. Sheriff Dart is the only one that came close to a full-blown announcement.

Oh well, I guess we must wait and see what this field of candidates will say. Other then that, come on election time.

Monday morning quarterbacking is a bitch.

Dude, you should have never accepted that much money from the get go. You should have never accepted Daley's "hand-picked", report on your activities, snitch as the Chief of Staff. Now this Mayor refuses a simple phone call from you, telling him you would take a pay cut.

I have to admit, this is getting thrown under a bus, and having it roll over you several times. My advice, fix any damage that you may have done. If moral is low, do something for correcting it. Never wear the uniform, when you haven't been in the trenches. Don't be like this current Mayor. Go out on a good note.

Angry Daley rips community for not naming cop's killer :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: City Hall


This quote pretty much sums up what is going on in these communities.



"During Wednesday’s debate, Ald. Freddrenna Lyle (6th), Bailey’s Park Manor neighbor, decried the changes that have turned her once tranquil blue-collar neighborhood into a magnet for crime.
Lyle has blamed the CHA’s Plan for Transformation, in part, for the surge of crime that included a Labor Day burglary at the alderman’s home.
“Over the last four or five years, it has become a community that many of us say we don’t understand, we don’t recognize, we don’t know who these people are,” Lyle said.

“I don’t know how many days a week we see some behavior on the street and we say, ‘Where in the world did these people come from and we sure wish they’d go back.’ We’ve never seen people who had such a disrespect for themselves [and] the property of others.”

Referring to slain Chicago Police Officer Thomas Wortham IV, a longtime family friend and Chatham resident who was killed in May, Lyle added, “I’m tired of memorializing officers from the 6th Ward.”
