I think Chicago problems are bigger than anyone one man. Probably - which is why the old expression - if you keep doing the same thing over and over why do expect a different result. It would be refreshing to see some economic ideas like lowering taxes, vouchers for schools and other ways for people to get out of the cycle of violence and employers to move in and offer jobs. A plurality of political leadership would help - this one side only representation I believe is part of the problem. When one side controls the levers of government for so long it encourages corruption (Chicago is legendary) and nothing ever changes as there is no honest debate of ideas or solutions. Just recall the attempts to sell Obama's seat by Governor Blagojevich. I think the first thing that has to be done is to reduce the corruption in Chicago and Illinois. From what I've read, its really over the top. I think then it will be possible to implement some positive changes..........like focusing more attention on the Chicago neighborhoods instead of DT.
