What Does HDO Really Stand For?

So it goes like this - its the late 80's, Chicago's first Black Mayor has died. The current Mayor can get elected but it's gonna take awhile as all of Washington's presumptive heirs and his enemies try to outgun each other. So he takes a new friend a, city worker, who is "Hispanic". This fits perfectly. Under Washington the alderman got cocky, too power hungry and they forgot their place. The same old tactics of compromise and favor couldn't work with these alderman - not yet. But what can be done this time is something that was done long ago when the machine was in its infancy and Cermak was Mayor. The current Mayor could take "Hispanics" from the oldest part of that community, the south-east side, and spoon feed them favors until they become a loyal army of street workers. He wasn't going to deal with those upstarts in Pilsen and Little Village who called themselves Latinos. They were too volatile, too arrogant and had been too close to Washington. Ironically the still divided African-American community would provide the opening to get elected that Washington had so insolently stolen from the current Mayors grasp. Once it was evident that the HDO was gonna gain power and favor. African-American leaders who felt isolated and marginalized in past and current battles would flock to curry favor with the new Mayor, a reincarnation of the old, sort of like Bush 41 and Bush 43. That began the long nightmare of Al Sanchez' rise to power along with Victor Reyes and other thugs. So this Mayor is in it deep. He's been in deep for a long time. So when he distances himself now with reforms, remember that he is just biding his time while a new patronage fix is constructed with say an Olympics and other new tricks.
