- ‘Mayor Garcia’ probably sounds good to this guy too.
As must be painfully obvious to everyone by now, I have what you might call a complicated relationship with Chicago voters.
I realize, of course, that this sounds delusional, given that just the other day the Tribune came out with a poll that said Mayor Rahm was up 58 to 30 percent among likely voters.
The same, of course, can be said for Mayor Rahm. So really one is no different than the other in this particular matter, as they try to avoid offending any voters before the big vote.
And I don’t think he’ll strangle the schools with a series of cuts that leaves them with fewer janitors, not nearly enough art, music, or drama, and passing the hat for toilet paper.
And I don’t think he’ll close mental health clinics in low-income, high-crime neighborhoods. And then have the police spy on the movement that erupted to protest the closings.
Call it his legacy.
