Mayor Stuntman is at it again. If lottery proceeds are supposed to go in the "General Education Fund", why are teachers being cut? What happened to all that money for the parking meters, and the "Sky-Way? If money is the issue, why hasn't this Mayor taken a pay-cut? Why are all of the alderman, county board, and all of their department heads, haven't taken a pay-cut?

In tough times, leadership becomes the norm. But what do we see from our elected officials? We see, and hear nothing but double-speak, and flat out lies. We see simple cowardice, because they refuse to demonstrate any leadership for taking a pay-cut.

Once again the Mayor is getting officers that really have no business being behind a desk doing a job a civilian should do. How do these officer get these jobs anyway? Cronyism that's how. But I digress. This Mayor is a piece of work. I thought this move was done years ago. But the minute you blink your eye, it's business as usual for this city.

Take a pay-cut elected officials. Show some leadership for a change.
