Tuesday questions...
| Dan Webb |
"On Monday, that new era of independence was on full display", writes Fran Spielman in the Sun-Times,
I don't buy Spielman's new era hyperbole, There are some small spine signs. But not many. At least some questions are now being asked before the pups sit up and beg for cookies.
Some are even asking a for a little time to consider things before dancing to the mayor's tune like they did on the parking meters, red-light cameras, $5M cover-up payment to Laquan McDonald's family, killer property-tax hike, etc... Amazing!
Eg. they put Rahm's $2M TIF plan to build a park near the new Marriott Hotel on hold. OMG!
Originally, that money was part of $55M that money was going to build DePaul's (mea culpa St. Vincent) shiny new (but I predict, largely empty) basketball arena. Now the money has been shifted to the hotel after protests against the building of the stadium caused the pols political embarrassment. Not enough to stop it, however. This was millions that should have been spent in classrooms.
