Having dutifully slogged through the editorial endorsements of Mayor Rahm by the Tribune and Sun-Times—yes, my beloved Bright One drank the Kool-Aid, too—I realize it’s fallen to me to offer an alternative point of view.
Furthermore, Mayor Daley is endorsing Mayor Rahm—though Mayor Daley has for the moment refrained from blaming himself for all of Chicago’s ills.
It’s also because he hasn’t been a very—oh, how to delicately phrase this?—trustworthy mayor. Seems like he always has a trick up his sleeve so that what he does is generally different than what he says he’s doing. So we’re constantly trying to figure out what he’s really up to and, more to the point, how much we’ll have to pay for it.
And this is the mayor you trust with your pensions, firefighters?
If you want to vote for Bob Fioretti or Jesus Garcia or William “Dock” Walls or Willie Wilson—knock yourself out.
