OChicago

clipped from proteinwisdom.com

Chicago’s political elite love to give speeches about the importance of public education, but not for their children. Mayor Daley sent his children to private schools. Deborah Lynch, the former head of the Chicago Teacher’s Union, sent her kids to private schools. America’s newest political superstar, Barack Obama, sends his kids to private schools. With the exodus of the rich from Chicago’s public schools, 69 percent of the children in the Chicago Public School system are poor.

Chicago’s political system is inefficient and costly. There are no term limits
in Chicago. The Democratic Party has controlled the Mayor’s office since 1931(a
big city record). There’s no opposition: Democrat’s control 49 out of 50 seats
on the city council. Corruption is everywhere. Barely a month can go by without
a major scandal. The FBI has the largest public corruption squad in the United
States located in Chicago . Chicago voters don’t seem to care.
