Surrender Dorothy!

Chicago neighbors tried to count how many times Ald. Tillman used the term "disingenuous" to describe her opponent Pat Dowell on City Desk this Sunday, but we finally gave up. Ald. Tillman who tried to accused Ms. Dowell of being in the pocket of the unions promptly showed she was in the pocket of developers a few minutes later (listing all the high ticket projects she was pushing). Were I a resident of the third ward I'd be asking myself "Why didn't Ald. Tillman once mention me as a constituent?" and her tepid response to questions about city hall corruption were almost Tribunesque. In fact Ald. Tillman mentioned the Jackson (dynasty) family more often than residents of her ward. Let's hope this desperation keeps up. It'll be entertaining at least. How beneficial it is for the people of the third ward is another story.
