Then there is the 10 million dollars we spent defending torturer Jon Burge,which is a drope in the bucket, but hey, lets bring the Olympic Game$S to Chicago! Which of course will be a drain on the tax payers but yet another win fall for his cronies. I am proud to say, I have never vvoted for Daley, yes I voted for some clowns, but never him

That's your answer, BC? If only we had more federal money city finances would be fine? Gee, and here I thought it would be better to have a thriving Chicago economy without corruption and graft so that we could be more self-sustaining and not be as reliant on the whims of whomever is occupying Washington and Springfield. Silly me.

Yeah the war in Iraq sucks and imagainst it but daleys buddys getting 1.5million for a parcel of land they paid 50g for is stupid and corrupt. Hired trucks doing nothing but collecting money fake minority contractors from bridgport muchless, wrought iron fence contracts after daley decieded that looks nice, tearing up miegs field just because Violating the shakman decree because he can. Well Daley is the criminal how many city contracts for his nephew how many boards of civic org and companys doing buisness with the city for his wife. Corruption is the reason for these tax increases!!PLus he butchers the language worse than I when speaking its a crime I say.

Whine, whine, whine. Did you know that the war in Iraq is going to cost the average family 20,900 smackaroos? It is. And you wonder where all of the money earmarked for cities is going. Did you know that other cities are going through the same thing we're going through right now? 20,900 smackaroos. There's your money. Time to re-direct your energies elsewhere.
