Ok. So you believe Chicago doesn’t matter. Point taken. Good to know…

She’s a nutcase. Our politics are rife with nutcases. Nutcases are the rule rather than the exception in our political public sector.

I do not know much about her but it seems that a lot of people think she is not doing a very good job. That said, I certainly wouldn’t want her job. That city has a century long history of violence, crime, corruption and poverty. I love to visit Chicago and I love the food, the sights and the people there, but I am glad I don’t live there. I hope she can get things turned around in her time as Mayor.
She definitely has a tough job.
It will take the right person and time to turn the city around.
Don't ever let go of your awareness about a city that is struggling.
Kudos!
Do you live in Chicago?

She's in a tough spot. She appears to be in over her head, and doesn't know quite what to do about it.
I empathize - I would make a terrible mayor of Chicago also.

I wouldn’t want the job of any of the current politicians. Chicago has long had an issue with crime, with Chicago murders in 2021 being worse than any year since 1996. She has been in office over three years, and her future will go before the voters in less than a year. It will be interesting to see how that goes..

I believe in February 2023, so less than a year.

I do not live in Chicago, I am an east coast kind of Gal. My best friend grew up in the city and has family still there.

I believe she is indeed in over her head. I would make a terrible mayor of any city, big or small…..lol

We have a Mayoral election here in LA this year too. Eric Garcetti is not running again so the field is wide open. I like a guy named Rick Caruso, a very wealthy real estate developer who promises to get the homeless situation under control. Hopefully, if he wins, he will deliver.

Don‘t sugar coat it Rick. Tell us what you really think...

What a passive aggressive response. I said:
and that is what I mean. I said nothing about whether Chicago matters or not.
Makes one wonder if her wife agrees with this:
Chicago Mayor Issues ‘Call To Arms’ Against The Supreme Court (msn.com)
How ironic with all the arms in Chicago and sounds as if she wants SCOTUS Justices shot!

. When we were there visiting our daughter several years ago it was obvious an issue, and seems to have only gotten worse over the years.

Great.

I have been disappointed in her response to the situation.
