  Windy city.
context: She’s not a great mayor. >
  
  The main focus is on crime but let's talk about other topics.
  
  
  How did Lightfoot specifically move to address climate change? Is Chicago moving to build next-generation power plants considering Excelon's decision to keep their Byron and Dresden NPPs operating?
  
  
  How did Lightfoot specifically move to address systematic inequalities with the state's utilities vis-a-vis Comed, Comcast and AT&T as nearby Wisconsin does with WPSC?
  
  
  How did Lightfoot specifically move to address congestion and climate change with new transit projects/programs, the type of which have been aggressively promoted by Indiana resident Peter Buttgeig who is now Biden's Secretary of Transportation?
  
  
  How did Lightfoot specifically work to create a skilled labor force capable of facilitating the above?
  
  
  Pardon the autism but you get the idea. Other big-name mayors like London Breed/Gavin Newsom/VP Harris, Guilani/Cuomo/Trump Obama/Emanuel or Senior/Dubya/Jeb made such deals. All four of these things have extensive support by Democrats, and by Chicago's residents, so where's the beef. There's a clear connection between VP Harris and San Francisco's new downtown development, and a connection between Buttgieg and Amtrak expansion in Michigan/Detriot. What is Chicago's strategy? 
  Both Daleys did better and had answers to these questions by the end of year 2. >
  
  I doubt she even makes the  top two for the probable runoff. >
  
  Her own words make her a shallow unelectable mistake. >
  
  She's extremely unpopular even amongst Dems. Truth is Chicago needs someone who is going to be extremely tough on crime. Brutally tough even. People are leaving the city because of the violence and shootings, which are spreading into the 'nicer' areas and even into the expressway. >
  
  How many more decades of ‘tough on crime’ legislation do you need before you realize it doesn’t work? We need someone who addresses the root problem or crime. 
  We don’t need more police and more brutal tactics. That’ll only continue to brutalize our black communities. >
  
  What did we really expect from a Cop? Identity politics don’t mean shit when you’re a fascist.
