A mayor needs to be “clear, concise, and consistent,” Rahm Emanuel asserted early in last night’s debate. He says he’s strikingly different in that way from his opponent, Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, whom Emanuel has painted as vague and evasive.

In the debate last night, Flannery asked Emanuel: “Mr. Mayor, why that 19 percent decline in detectives investigating murders?”

“—which is why I’ve been clear—” Emanuel continued.

Now that’s clear and concise.
