Well,THIS passed tonight...

"....To some, establishing a separate fund for aldermen to hire their own attorneys rather than use the city’s Legal Department is a way to avoid placing staff in the middle of their battles.

But to other aldermen, it’s a political power play designed to divide and conquer.

“I think they want to shut certain people out of city operations,” said Ald. Venita Hervey, D-5. “It’s being set up by a group of people who are carving out their own niche to create a subcouncil on the City Council that wants to make all of the decisions.”...."

Well, EXCUSE ME Ms.Venita, but the same could be said about your constant LarryBoyBlind Allegiance, even going so far as to release INACCURATE information(in MY opinion, BLATANT LIE!) concerning the fire union wage 'request' a few weeks back.....seems you were elected to represent CITIZENS not the administration....
