here an alderman acts as if she has something to do with the budget
“We will go back and look at the policy. We’ll talk to the vendor about what they are comfortable with and we’ll see what, if anything, we can do to address it,” [director of Administrative Hearings Scott] Bruner said.

I can't believe anyone could be mad at this? Why, don;t you people know that Chicago officials are BETTER than the rest of us? Sheese. Give you commoners a computer and you suddenly think you are as good as a Chicago Alderman!
Does anyone remember an Alderman firing an gun inside council chambers, or is it an urban myth?
I don't know about firing inside the chambers, but Dorothy Tillman definitely pulled her firearm out in front of the city council once: http://austinweeklynews.1upsoftware.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubSectionI...
