The electorate has been described by our leaders as a "basket of deplorables", "garbage" and "scoundrels". Besides that, they do truly care.
Trust me when I tell you that this is the prevailing attitude among a majority of our political leaders. Dat's why they call them the "Elite" don't you know.

Matt O'Shea has an opponent?
I read it in the Beverly Review. I am sitting here wondering who has a problem with O'Shea.
Matt works his ass off, its not easy working things through the bureaucracy of the city. He's gotten a lot of projects off the ground that sat stagnated for years. He's accessible and responsive and tuned in to every part of the ward.
While I will likely vote for Matt next time around I think it is refreshing that there can be any alternative to the people the Democrats serve up to us on a platter. It is when there is no one challenging them that they tend to get big heads. Now Cunningham and Hurley are another matter altogether....I don't believe Cunn broke 60 percent which should wake him up to realize that he has ALOT of people who are not happy with how he votes. Hurley makes me want to hurl. To think that this person represents me makes me ill. Accepting money from radical pro-abortion....no not pro-choice....pro abortion groups and then showing up at churches is something for which she will have to answer for eventually. If not in this life...the next. These people are kissing up to a Democrat Party that cares nothing for Catholic values....but worse apparently, this heavily Catholic Ward no longer does either. May be time to move on.
would like to see a fellow from Ireland run for the position,now that would be a person for all the ppl and not a fat slug to hang around the country clubs talking shite about his granma from galway and other such silly nonsense.could get something done in the ward and maybe go after that silly Dart fellow that dont know his ass from his elbow,
All frauds - wouldn't matter if my fucking dog became Alderman. The people of this community make it great. The 19 ward office hasn't done anything innovative to protect the neighborhood since Jeremiah Joyce. I don't believe he would have kept or trusted anyone in the current ward office to get the car washed ! Look at our surrounding communities of EP & OakLawn - they have major investment and redevelopment. They actually work hard to attract business. The so called comedian who talked about our community with potholes, drink servers at rr crossings etc. should be slapped like the bitch he is. That's not funny it's pathetic. The daily double of Fran & Billy- are useless ,immoral parasites!
Thursday, Investor's Business Daily noticed that at the urging of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the City of Chicago voted this week to raise the city's minimum wage from $8.25 to $13 an hour. IBD commented in an editorial "Chicago City Council Chooses Suicide by Minimum Wage":
Fiscal Policy: A city teetering on the brink of insolvency passes a minimum wage that would reach $13 by 2019, higher than the minimum elsewhere in a state that just elected a Republican governor. What could go wrong?
Ignoring the first rule of holes (when you're in one, stop digging), the Chicago City Council, in a Tuesday emergency session called by Mayor and former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, voted 44-5 to raise the city's minimum wage from the current statewide level of $8.25 an hour to $10 on July 1, with future increases bringing it to $13 by 2019. After that, it will be pegged to inflation.
What's the emergency? Emanuel wanted to jump the gun on any minimum-wage bill that might come out of the state legislature in Springfield, particularly after the election of Republican Bruce Rauner as governor. Such legislation is said to bar cities from raising their minimums above the state's. Rauner has said that any minimum-wage increases should be part of a package that promotes growth without reducing competitiveness.
"Raising the minimum wage doesn't help somebody (who is) unemployed, and it doesn't help somebody who's employed and who could get unemployed because of the lack of competitiveness that raising the minimum wage could engender," Rauner said.
The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Hotel and Lodging Association and Illinois Restaurant Association all lobbied against the Chicago-only increase, arguing that it would give suburban business a 57% labor-cost advantage.

ReplyDeleteMatt is a breath of fresh air after 20 years of do nothing stink.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best aldermen in Chicago. Honest too.
ReplyDeleteI rank him second only to Burke.
DeleteMatt came on the scene just in time to save us from the aging burnt out hippies that came to power in the 70s and 80s.
ReplyDeleteThank God
DeleteWhich hippies did he save you from?

Ann Shabaly or Shabby or whatever her name is opened a campaign office on 111 Troy. I can't believe we have to go through this.
