With Rahm on the ropes, he has no juice.

This started with Daley and is only getting worse as absolute powers at city hall work to privatize education in Chicago and get the CTU off their political backs. I only wish that folks in Chicago realize what is happening before it is too late. Teachers should not be the only ones trying to support children in this city.Barbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-59388118688655101262015-12-08T14:52:57.899-06:002015-12-08T14:52:57.899-06:00Great post, Mike.

Quinn--both started out as progressives (I had even worked on petition-signing for Claypool when he ran against Stroger)--& both succumbed to the "absolute power corrupts absolutely" rule, it would appear. Never mind--whatever happens, they won't starve, that's for sure. How long will it be before Rahm casts F.C. aside, for being a "distraction?" (That verbiage is becoming almost as famous as "never let a good crisis go to waste.") <br />Actually, though--& somewhat off-thread--Rahm, himself, has become the "distraction."
