@RaymondALopez You know damn well P-winkle is calling all the shots. Property taxes are under the Cook County realm. All of the alderpersons can stand on their heads and spit nickels, and nothing will happen. Show you have some gonads & go after P-winkle publicly.
She'll have you for lunch.
@PekalaLaw@bobbyfijan There are those that live in their own little unsatisfied liberal worlds who think their ideas are better than the everyone else's. Ask the liberal hypocrites in Lakewood Balmoral & Ravenswood Manor what they think & they'll say, "great idea but...NIMBY...or we'll sue you.
@PekalaLaw@bobbyfijan And, of course, there is no personal or monetary gain by those suggesting that people downsize, those who just happen to have their hands in the R/E development business and are especially trying to prey on the vulnerable elderly.
@SawickiJulie @ufabchicago @RaymondALopez@ChicagosMayor That doesn't wash. A fraction of 1% of a small demographic are the ones that require 50-60% of ALL police activity and maybe 75% of ALL Cook County court activity.
A wise person once said, "believe only half of what you read and none of what you hear.
@ufabchicago @RaymondALopez@ChicagosMayor The council doesn't have the collective gonads or ovum to do anything that would do right by the people of Chicago. Besides, one false move against the almighty party and Prickwinkle will cut them off at the knees.
@RaymondALopez@ChicagosMayor You could also install red light and speed cameras in the Gold Coast, River North, Loop, and West town. AND...AND...since most of the violations that occur in those areas aren't commited by the people that live in those areas, the FAIRNESS and EQUITY of enforcement is there.
@RaymondALopez@ChicagosMayor Cutting the City Council from 50 to 25 alderpersons would be a good start. Many of them have staffers in their 20's making $90-$110,000 a year....and the ones I've met are nothing but politically connected hacks.
@spatte84@1978Irish@TheJimAlexander I went to high school with several of the McCaskey boys and you couldn't find a nicer group of kids but couldn't manage their way out of a paper bag.
The franchise is not going to get better under Papa Bear's grandsons, and certainly not under his great grandchildren.
@PekalaLaw@hm52nx49j4 I hope Elon Musk is appointed to the task of cutting spending & he goes after Fauci immediately.
Can't you just see Fauci going on TV complaining about getting his limo service dropped & that he can barely makes ends meet on his pension of $375,000 & $12.6 Million net worth. 😅
@PekalaLaw@ChicagoBreaking@vjeannek 80 years old & 41 years in Congress...now that he is not in the majority, he wants to take his ball and go home.
In other words, the minorities have caught on to his racket and they want him out.
@1978Irish@TheJimAlexander Each NFL team is basically guaranteed $4 Billion over the next 10 years. They make money whether win or not. I read the franchise is worth $7 Billion.
Why should the team owners do anything?
BTW, did you notice the Bears haven't brought up the subject of the new stadium lately?
