      <![CDATA[The city must have and maintain the monies it takes to keep our streets clean in the winter, or else we will create more personal injury, personal property damage and unsafe streets for the elderly, young, and all other pedestrians. With that being said, we know that its going to snow every season so why not slow down the spring and other seasonal expenses and allocate more funds to safety than beauty I'd say to keep road ways cleaned and free of all debris, encumbrances, and encrochments. I think it's time for a change and someone to step out the box and vote for commonsense tactics and not what the monkey see monkey do approach.

    Of course he can.
    
    After all, he's got you anus, and you have a home only because of that fact, so, if reality, you, and everything you own, belong to him anyway.
    
    Does richie at least offer you lube, every so often, to reduce the friction a bit?

      <![CDATA[Damm Coconate!! what do you want us to back to the horse and buggy,just because you lost your job screwing up. We need,an airport. I hope the runway would have extended to your home,at least you you would have gotten the fair market value,instead of eviction. If Daley wants my home for a runway ,he can have it immediately.

      <![CDATA[hope Fitzgerald narrows the net throwing around Daley. I tried reporting Alderman Vi Daley to the IRS along with the where are the funds coming to pay a community group administrator and the local IRS agent called me and bullied me and told me that nothing was wrong. Hmmmm..... why no IRS auditing which would lead to questioning aldermanic budgets and again, why funds for unelected and non city employee yet gets quoted about urban planning community group administrator? Go after the alderman who are spineless weasels and get them to turn on Mayor Daley for less prison time.

      <![CDATA[So just 2 budget cycles after pouring millions of their member's dues into the aldermanic elections, the unions are forced to re-open their hard-fought 10-year agreement and concede concessions, and manage to save maybe a couple of hundred jobs, and they declare victory. The unions told Daley load & clear that all he has to do next year is propose hundreds of layoffs. What will be left of their master agreement after 8 more budget cycles? Turns out tossing money into aldermanic elections is NOT a good way to send a message to Daley, he has no fear of the Chicago City Council. The agreement is revealed as fraud on the membership. The revolution is official declared over.

      <![CDATA[Preckwinkle asked, how are we supposed to analyze a $6B budget in 2 weeks? and another alderman Shiller I think chimed in on the "process issue." Then they voted "aye", not "no - not at this time" or "no - we need more time" and told Daley loud & clear that 2 weeks was plenty of time to garner 49 votes, and next year even less time will probably work fine, too.

      <![CDATA[Ocasio was on fire, he sounded angry and looked maybe a little nervous at what he was about to do. He said his vote was being taken for granted. Of course it was, and it's equally true for the other 49, but they all voted "aye" anyway.
