...that those on the far right and left can join in on "Chicago bashing". I don't waste my time with those who know little about this city and have their own agendas. Internet carpetbagging...

Like others, I have my gripes with Rahm but not all that's happening here is his fault or making...he's picking up the mess of decades of neglect under Daley. The new meme is that since Obama/Rahm suck...so does Chicago. Yet another reason my time at DU is less and less these days...

Cheers...
