Day by Daley, Monday 10 November
Like Sands Through the Hour Glass--This is the Daley of our Lives. Wake up, Chicagoans! Get your head in the local game.
Is Somebody Gettin' Paid for Dat Satellite? Mayor Daley knows that only a combination of getting the 2016 Olympics and avoiding any tax increases can insure his easy reelection victory in 2011. Side effect? New and potentially illegal taxes:
The satellite industry is not going down without a fight. "We believe that federal law currently prohibits local taxation of satellite TV services while preserving the right of states to impose taxes," DISH spokesperson Robin Zimmerman wrote in an e-mail response to the Sun-Times.
I'm Not Going to Stand Here While You Go Negative on my Hero. The Mayor wants to make sure that President-Elect Obama's campaign pays for the extra security that was necessary for the Grant Park event last week, but he's not just going to stand there and talk in his normal voice while the media gets all negative about Chicago's favorite son.
Whither Patrick Fitzgerald? Speaking of the Mayor's newfound adoration of President-Elect Obama, one wonders about the fate of our federal prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, who has been an equal-opportunity, non-partisan ball-breaker. Will President-Elect Obama keep Fitzgerald around to wreak havoc in one of the most corrupt states in the union? Thomas Roeser, in his annoying GOP-talking-pointy way ("pro-abort"? Really? Is this 1996?), raises the question.
