rahm is funny.
Edited on Tue Apr-26-11 08:58 AM by mopinko
rahm emanual did something that ritchie daley never did- paid a visit to the 49th ward democrats. said a few words, answered some questions, and joked non-stop. i hear tell he is a miserable person, but i wouldn't have guessed it.

i think he has picked some good people, he sees our problems pretty clearly, and is aware of this moment when a lot can change.

eta that much to my surprise my almost always contrary neighbors were excited by his visit, and laughed like crazy. he definitely has political capital to burn.

1. I'm hoping he won't completely privatize our city.
I'm trying to be hopeful. I think I'll laugh later.

I will agree he does have some good ideas.

2. sounds like he is really cleaning out the crony nests.
i have often said that i understand how this city works, all i ask is that the new mayor shakes off the thieves from the last administration. sounds like he is working on it.
