Not to worry. As soon as we're done pricing most the criminal element out of the city like NYC has, our murder rate will drop too.

No, that would be Chicago's sanctuary policy, aiding, abetting and harboring millions of illegal aliens isn't seen as an asset to any city, state or county budget.
DHS concurs.  |

Not gonna happen. Any "affordable" neighborhood on the edge of town that doesn't have good public schools is doomed to ghetto-dom. Your post about Chicago "pricing out" criminals like New York is prophetic. |

Has anyone found the Taste of Chicago madness on youtube or the net yet? It looked like an election in Kenya gone bad. The video is real, and it speaks for itself (sorry deniers), is there link to it?

If Blago keeps his stupid crap up as long as he is in office he might need the Illinois National Guard to protect himself:
"Members of a major labor union walked out during the governor's speech.. And five top elected state Democrats boycotted the event..."
"...The governor was greeted with a chorus of boos at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield..."
"...Governor's Day is supposed to be a celebration of party unity. But most of the state's top Democrats were boycotting the event because of the toxic political climate...."

Oh, Blago. He'd be funny if he weren't such an incompetent Neanderthal. Well, he's kind of funny, anyway....but he's more like gallows humor.

Bridgeport is not one of the neighborhoods that Blago is talking about.
