I have a buddy on the south side who is part of a number of local political action groups which meet at local churches and are organized by alderman.
The city is run by the mob. If people try to pull the curtain aside to expose it, they disappear. Yeah yeah, hearsay. But this is a friend of mine I trust being told directly by alderman.
I have wondered for a while why Lightfoot has taken positions on issues diametrically opposed to, like, her whole career prior.
