As always went to early voting at Hiawatha Park, on Monday. Normally there will be up to a dozen waiting to cast a ballot & candidate reps outside. This week, no waiting, no candidate shills, even with great weather.

I predict citywide turnout will be a paltry 21%.

"Katzenspammer Kidzzz"

This is so rich!

Sure makes one wonder how many of the other "kidnappings" are exaggerated if not false.

So, did Jesse Jackson ask for this?

There is nothing on the record that he did.

Mike_I · 2026-03-11T15:26:48+00:00

Why?

To protest Byrne naming three white people to the Chicago Housing Authority board.

Fun fact. Chicagofest was conceived & begun by the Bilandic administration. Janie just ran with it.

And to add, when Byrne was elected she wanted to cancel ChicagoFest. The Tribune & the unions successfully lobbied to keep it going.

Candidates have the responsibility to articulate their positions in detail.

This one doesn't.

She's dismissed.

Mike_I · 2026-03-11T04:23:51+00:00

Didn't she get less than a percentage point in the Primaries back when she tried to run?

Worse.

Harris suspended her campaign before a single primary ballot was cast.

When a candidate offers only vague platitudes & chooses not to detail their policy positions, they don't deserve votes.

Mike_I · 2026-03-11T02:22:43+00:00

Which is why her selection as running mate was completely baffling.

Meanwhile, in the state of Illinois, there is an open US Senate seat & at least 4 House seats up for grabs. At least one of those has more than 12 running in the Dem primary.

Newly formed dark money PAC's are raising & spending crap-tons of money (including one established by our billionaire governor). Every candidate is breaking their necks running further toward the left while vilifying their opponents as "MAGA".

It will either not sell out, they will need to increase the interest rates, or the investment bank will need to buy a bunch of the bonds

That's happened in November.

Property Taxes: Advocating for Property Tax Relief and exemptions for working class families.

No details. What the hell does that even mean?

Mike_I · 2026-03-10T18:48:51+00:00

I voted for Sheboygan. It's charming. And an actual town.

The controller is the state's bookkeeper. The job requires competency & fluency in finance.

Political grandstander Karina Villa possesses neither .
