Mr. tunnel vision. $500 million park secured by Gestapo police and a multi billion dollar airport expansion. Meanwhile the south and west sides are more dangerous than Baghdad. The guy screams about guns, yet the silly gun ban was never really enforced and clearly didn't work. The city needs a bigger Police budget, but they're too broke for that. Not looking to flame, I just hate Daley. Any time I visit Chicago it's a cash grab. They made a science out of getting their hands in your pocket.

Look, I have no love for the man either. Richie clearly turned things around in his first term. You have a short memory what this city looked like 20 years ago.
On the news today, crime is less this year than last. I couldn't beleive that. But that is the media coverage for ya!
I live in this city and I don't know who will run against him. You can bet it will be more of the same. Sorry Leigon.
