Rahm Makes A Joke Out Of Quinn S Term Limit Push But Voters Could Have Last Laugh

If Mayor Rahm loses next year’s election, we’ll have no need to worry about what he’ll do next—clearly, he has a great future in comedy.

     So if the mayor wants to keep voters from weighing in on a policy he opposes, all he has to do is command the City Council to cram the ballot with three questions he doesn’t care about.

     Quinn has enough obstacles trying to round up the 50,000 valid signatures by the August 6 deadline.

Goodness no, the mayor responded, as though he were horrified Schutz would even suggest such a thing. Instead, Rahm said he was just “seeking guidance from the voters.”

The mayor never asked us whether he should close those clinics. No, at one point he dashed out a back door rather than meet with patients and activists who were begging that he’d keep those clinics open.
