His Honor takes the day off and we here at the Daily Daley want to stop taking them
DALEY NEWS
First of all, the mayor had no scheduled events today which probably suited him just fine. When there are events, there are obnoxious reporters asking questions and that can get very tiresome. Aurely this is not an example of absenteeism on Daley's part?
But what's this? The Tribune apparently seems to have some conflicting information on Daley's whereabouts today.
Second, no, your eyes are not deceiving you. This is the first post here since last Thursday. Our staffing issues remain so once again, please contact us at dailydaley@gmail.com if you're interested in writing for us or know someone else who is.
DALEY CHATTER
- The aldermen are accusing Daley of endangering Chicago's future by depleting the city's cash reserves. Come again, aldermen? Where was this concern for Chicago's future when the mayor was leasing everything that's not nailed down?
- Bensenville gives in to Daley on the O'Hare expansion, but receives no information from the mayor on the details. Hey, get used to it. We receive no information all the time.
- State Senator (and Reverend) James Meeks unabashedly lets loose on the issue of youth violence in Chicago. In the process, he strongly questions whether the mayor should still be in charge of the city's school system. You've got us Reverend. It might indeed be a good idea for someone else to be at the helm. But we're betting that the mayor would sooner cheer for the Cubs or eat a hot dog with ketchup than give up control of that particular piece of local bureaucratic pie.
