Mayor Rahm And His Administration Struggle To Tell The Truth

• Wait, so, how many students have gone missing from CPS, Barbara Byrd-Bennett?

Over the last few days, I’ve been watching Mayor Rahm work his magic in the mayoral debates, where he answers questions however he wants, regardless of what he’s been asked.

“I cut a deal with Alderman Burke in which I let him keep his police bodyguars and his finance committee chairmanship and pretty much anything else he wants, including, apparently, around-the-clock snow removal service. And in exchange, he gives me his unwavering support for anything I want, even my dumb ideas.”

In some ways, the most compelling part of Karp’s story is the resistance she had to overcome before CPS turned over basic information.

And he kept telling Karp they were still working on it.

So take that, Karen Lewis!

That’s a state law designed to give the public access to information, though it’s largely used by Mayor Rahm to deny the public access to information. As I may have written a few times before.
