The city that works

Sunday, 27 January 2008 Jacob Tomaw

Chicagoans (and probably Illinoisans in general) should take a read of this article in the Chicago Reader for an example of exactly how the city works. The names with be dizzying, but it is worth the read all the way through.

I once saw a guide for new Chicagoans which listed our form of government as “Patronage”. It is so disheartening to me that these plays happen in daylight and yet the Democrat voters continue to vote for who the machine says they should.
