Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel submitted his last budget yesterday. In it he kicked just about every can he could find down the road, lobbing a softball to City Council members running for re-election. It’s bad for the dwindling number of Chicagoans who will be forced to shoulder the increasing burdens his foolishness has imposed on us. It’s the perfect ending for a mayor who thought solely about electoral gain and not a bit about what politics is about which is people.
He should have limited his remarks on the budget to a single sentence: “Lots of luck, suckers.”
