The Case Against Rahm

By Mark Solock

I wish I could be with Rahm and feel Chicago is in the hands of a tough, capable leader. But I’ve come to understand that our great city is about to re-elect a guy just as bad or worse than Rod Blagojevich. I wish I were exaggerating.

If this mayor isn’t corrupt, he does nearly everything possible to look like it. And, where isn’t corrupt, he’s just incompetent.

Like you, I had heard buzz words that went in and out of my head – red light cameras; Magic Johnson; Janitors; Bond downgrade. Election day is Tuesday, and I needed to figure out who to vote for. So, I started reading. And, I’m horrified by what I’ve learned. When you lay it all out, it’s a stunning portrait of a skilled crook, who is either going to bankrupt our city while he blusters and bullshits or he’s going to tempt the doors of prison.

eventual venture into lobbying/hedge fund management seem pretty much between slim and none right now.
