  • Alderman Danny Solis said he’ll work with the mayor—any mayor, even if it’s Karen Lewis.

Every now and then, I have one of those eye-opening revelations when I realize the world’s different than I thought.

Go, Karen, go!

So I babbled on as best I could: Well, you’ve been a loyal supporter of Mayor Rahm’s. And he’s, like, against everything Karen Lewis represents. So, you know—wouldn’t you fight like hell against her ideas should she get elected?

Okay, there may be one or two true believers in the crowd. Like I’m pretty sure Aldermen Ed Burke and Patrick O’Connor really do favor our feudalistic spoils system of government.

Yes, Aldermen Solis and Munoz said they could support such a tax, if a Mayor Lewis were to propose it.

Then I woke up in the morning and saw that Mayor Rahm had raised $1 million in less than a week from a handful of his rich friends.
