you're not understanding the issue.

it's not about reilly or his constituents, it's the whole idea of "aldermanic prerogative" that's the issue.

these kinds of decisions shouldn't be in the hands of just one individual. chicago is the only (corrupt-ass) city that i know of that still does development approval so ass-backwardly like this.



however, with kamin so publicly calling out rahm, i won't be surprised if reilly is gonna get a little talking to on this one. reilly is generally a fuck, but this is really low, even for him.
