Watch Chicago Mayor Lightfoot Shut Down A Political Stunt:

[mucifer]

Back in the '80s alderman burke had a lot of power. He was known to be a racist and fought hard against Chicago's first black mayor Harold Washington who was very liberal. Burke had a lot of power then. He had some power under mayor rahm.

Now it's a new day.

I know this is very local. But, it's really cool.

1. good for her. dear dems this is how you treat bullies nt

2. I'm warming up to her because she just did two good things: ended alderman unilateral power of

The Machine at ward levels, and appointed Miguel Del Valle, former state and local comptroller and candidate for mayor, who was the best, but lost to Rahm.

She's taking back Chicago for its residents and taxpayers, I think. We'll see.

Thanks for the post.

4. Aldermanic Perogative...

It's damn annoying when good projects get dumbed down in this city because of that.

Too much pander-hackery to militant NIMBY's.

12. As an adopted Chicagoan I agree.

It is also part of the corruption problem.

3. This is the kind of courage and toughness we need in Washington.

I’m glad Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s response is getting this well-deserved recognition.
