A Look At Who Runs Chicago
And how it’s working out:
Chicago….
Who Runs it?
Senators: Barack Obama & Dick Durbin
Representative: Jesse Jackson, Jr.
Illinois Governor: Rod Blogojevich (arrested)
Illinois House leader: Mike Madigan
Illinois Attorney General: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
Chicago Mayor: Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J. Daley)
The leadership in Illinois? All Democrats.Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago.
Body count in the last six months: 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago — more souls lost than in Iraq.
State pension fund - $44 Billion in debt, worst in the country.
Cook County (Chicago ) sales tax - 10.25% highest in country (Look it up).
Chicago school system - rated one of the worst in the country and Obama just named the Arne Duncan, Superintendent of Chicago Public Schools as his Secretary of Education. Only 17% of 8th graders under his command read at grade level. That means 83% of Chicago aged students are reading below grade level. Over 60% are reading four or more grade levels below.
Of course, they’re all blaming each other. They can’t blame Republicans because there aren’t any.
