Same Old, Same Old

If you were looking for indications of how Mayor Emanuel will approach being Mayor, just look at this sign. Like so many politicians in Illinois, he thinks being Mayor means he owns the City, so he can put his name all over it, and make us pay for it. This kind of arrogance is just what I expected from him. I wonder if, like Mayor Daley, he'll be able to claim ownership while escaping responsibility for all of the City's problems he can't or won't fix.

Signs

Although there's a story in the Sun-Times that Rahm told them not to waste money on the signs ... still, Richie's name has got to come off them.

"Mayor Emanuel said Tuesday he doesn’t want city employees wasting time and money putting up signs that bear his name.

One day after local television stations captured city crews swapping signs that bear Mayor Daley’s name with signs that include Emanuel’s, the new mayor called a halt to the work."

I'm seeing Mayor Emanuel's

I'm seeing Mayor Emanuel's name on more and more signs, covering over former Mayor Daley's name. The "word" may have gone out, at least to the press, but the word to city workers appears to be to get the new Mayor's name on as many things as possible.
