Our transit network makes it very easy to get downtown but much more challenging to get anywhere else. Our radial network is both our greatest strength and our greatest weakness. New neighborhood-to-neighborhood and suburb-to-suburb transit options need to be a top priority for NITA.

Just listened to Susana Mendoza taking caller questions on In The Loop. Somebody asked about traffic congestion and the first thing she did was blame bike lanes. The second was to blame crime on CTA, as opposed to bad service. Disqualifying.

She's doing the best kind of pandering, which is when you talk about actual issues in the same key they talk about conspiracy bullshit, so they think you're meeting them where they're at and you're actually bringing them along.

The new mural by Jon Langford of John Prine on the Old Town School of Folk Music building (the former Hild Library).
A mural of a man playing guitar juxtaposed with red stars from the Chicago city flag is on the side of a building, seen here from across the street. The words in the mural’s blue background say: “How Lucky Can One Man Get?”A mural of a man playing guitar juxtaposed with red stars from the Chicago city flag is on the side of a building, partially obscured in this view by trees.

Apparently, Margaret Croke, running for Comptroller, is one of the chief co-sponsors of this horrible idea. (See this ilga link) I suggest that you vote for Karina Villa for Illinois Comptroller instead. www.ilga.gov/Legislation/...

In its endorsement the Trib mentions that "Croke led the charge in 2024 to protect Chicago’s selective-enrollment schools from threats emanating Mayor Brandon Johnson" This is a very Trib rendering of a story that I feel makes Croke not a great candidate for a statewide oversight office.

The first time I was even aware of Brendan Reilly came in 2014 when he was the sole alderman to vote to allow Chicago pet stores to continue sourcing animals from abusive and inhumane puppy mills. I'm sure there are better reasons to dislike Reilly, but this was my Reilly-hater origin story.

The worker, identified as TJ Sabula in the Washington Post, said “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
TJ Sabula, a 40-year-old United Auto Workers Local 600 line worker at the factory, told The Post that he was the one shouting at Trump. He said he has been suspended from work pending an investigation.

“As far as calling him out, definitely no regrets whatsoever,” Sabula said, though he added that he is concerned about the future of his job and believes he has been “targeted for political retribution” for “embarrassing Trump in front of his friends.”
