Mayor Daley says 'No More Free Rides'
"They have to revisit everything," Daley said. "And that is one of 'em they have to revisit. Definitely."
You may remember the free-ride program was added to the 2008 CTA bailout by former Gov. Rod Blagojevich shortly before he was arrested on federal corruption charges. It was the first of many stunts he'd soon pull to gain public sympathy and a peice of the spotlight. The final chapter of his epic downfall is yet to be written.

Transit politics aside, Daley has a $520 million budget gap of his own to worry about. But the Mayor has so far spoken out against raising city taxes:
Mayor Daley is No Longer a Gambling Man
“I don’t know why…everybody is going around thinking casinos [are] the answer to all the problems of society….That whole re-development project was for both affordable housing and market-rate housing for the citizens in the long run. It was not to be used whatsoever for any type of gaming,” Daley said.
For once the mayor is talking some sense.
The council passed the so-called abortion protest bubble law, which would grant those entering an abortion clinic an eight-foot buffer from crazy-ass protestors. Really? Only eight fucking feet? Their spittle can travel a full 10 yards.Their braying moans of righteousness can rupture eardrums at 100 paces. And thanks to modern photography, the radiation of their hatred can curdle blood at any distance.
I personally enforce a 50–yard buffer around myself, at minimum, for all such lunatic protestors.
Said the mayor:

Despite two years’ effort, an expenditure of $46 million by the Chicago 2016 committee, $86 million by the city, and the efforts of the first lady, the president and even Oprah-Feakin’-Winfrey, the city of Chicago didn’t even make it through the first round of IOC voting. It was a huge defeat for a mayor who is all too used to getting what he wants.
Mayor Daley, Da Holy Ghost
By going to Denmark with all the other City Hall politicos, including those from the White House, President Barack Obama is doing more than asking the International Olympic Committee to allow Chicago to host the 2016 Games.
Mayor Daley's Principal's Principles
“You have to have confidence in principals. Say a child gets a C-plus. You know that child can achieve. He or she could be a slow reader. Or they’re not a good tester. This idea [that] you’re gonna test everybody — you’re gonna have very few people in the 99.9 percentile,” Daley said.
