And what about all those goofballs standing around behind/beside the Mayor when he gives a press conference? Aides, PR people, assistants, cops, bodyguards, cosmetologists, who knows?

Probably 25-30 people, all making $50+ an hour, doing nothing. Makes me ill when I think how highly taxed even low-income people are in the city.

Payoffs for airport contracts, truck contract ripoffs, etc.

The city just leased all the parking meters to Morgan Stanley. Now it's going to cost way more to park, forever. I just heard Daley on the radio about how "it's an asset, and if you don't use an asset, it becomes a liability" in that screech-voice that tells you he knows he's caught lying. I imagine he didn't major in accounting.

And Cook County is worse. Wish my house were a few miles south.
