      <![CDATA[The Daley Show
    "After Mayor Richard Daley pushed through his first city budget for 1990, the Buildings Department was headed by a commissioner, two deputy commissioners and an assistant commissioner," the Tribune reports.
    
    "By this year, the mayor's budget has ballooned to include two managing deputy commissioners, a first deputy, five deputies and six assistants - even as the department has far fewer workers."
    
    When Todd Stroger does it, he's a hack. When Richard M. Daley does it, he's an international management darling.
    
    "The City Council is set to trim eight high-level managers from the Buildings Department when it votes on Daley's 2009 budget Wednesday.
    
    "While Daley is cutting non-union top bosses, those layoffs will only partially offset the dramatic growth in upper-echelon management during Daley's reign. A Tribune analysis of city budgets found that since 1990 the number of department heads, deputies and assistant department heads has risen from fewer than 200 to almost 350, despite the slow shrinking of the city workforce."

      <![CDATA["...what makes you think a bunch of aldermen or a newspaper can do it?" 
    
    
    As for the newspapers, why do you think that they still exist, if not for the fact that advertisers, both business and political, still know that the influence which newspapers have upon their readerships does, indeed, still affect what those readerships do, on election day?
    
    And why do you think there are so few newspaper articles, and/or editorials, clearly, and without political bias, describing and criticizing the many misuses and mismanagements of our tax dollars?
    
    Why is there so much effort made, on the part of this city, county and state administrations, to influence and shape what the newspapers print?
    
    Newspapers still have the power to inform the public, to influence the public and to publish the truth.
    
    They, like our city council, just don't have the balls to take aim and pull the trigger.

      <![CDATA["...what makes you think a bunch of aldermen or a newspaper can do it?"
    
    
    Alderman, being the legislative branch of our city government, possess the authority to stop, dead in it's tracks, practically anything the executive branch of our city government wants to do.
    
    The fact that the 50, gutless, greedy wonders, infesting our city's legislative branch have failed to exert their legal authorities and responsibilities, in no way diminishes those authorities and responsibilities.
    
    Our city council is like an army with plenty of weapons, plenty of ammunition, but lacking the will to fire a single, meaningful shot.
    
    A collection of limp dicks.
    
    Of no use to anyone.

      <![CDATA[50 Alderman to do the job of 1.
    
    lets serously think of reducing the number of alderman in the City Council by 2011. 
    
     Lets get it on the ballot. The savings in money, will be secondary to the amount of bull-shit we won't have to hear every year at this time.
