A Springfield Allegory

***The Maisenbacher Debacle seems like an allegory for how the Davlin Administration has run Springfield since the get go.  Stay with this.  The Administration appears to the voters to have everything under control; it is pretty; it is ornate; and the perception is that it is humming right along.  While inside, the walls are crumbling (budget, power plant explosion, police investigations), it is teetering precariously on an unstable foundation and nobody knows exactly where it is going to land.

The SJR does a good job of looking back at what was said during the original debate before the City Council and, more importantly, what wasn't said.  What is currently left unsaid is, who from the City told the Conn's that the money would be made available and that they should go ahead with this project.  Somebody at the City made promises they should not have made and now we have a house in the middle of Jackson.

***“This will be, I think, the final chapter in this matter for Mr. Joe Aiello.”  Doesn't anyone else think that the final chapter for Mr. Joe Aiello should be Mr. Joe Aiello resigning from County Clerk???? 

***Continuation of corporate welfare...more like corporate socialism.  In order to keep the horse racing industry afloat in Illinois, after solving ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS IN ILLINOIS, the House and Senate passed legislation continuing to skim 3% of casino profits to give to the horse racing industry.  Rep. Durkin said it best:  "I do have fundamental problems with taking from one industry and giving to another when they haven't been able to connect with the public," said Rep. Jim Durkin (R-Westchester) who voted against the plan.

Somebody gets it:


***Harvard, Yale, MIT, Stanford, Oxford, Columbia, Princeton.  This is WHY the coastal media has continued to 'examine' Sarah Palin and why the Libs continue to demonize her.  The people that they want running the US & the world graduated from these schools.  But, they understand that average voters relate to politicians like Palin.  We don't know people who graduated from Yale Law.  We do know people who graduated in the middle of their class from state schools.  We know people who graduated from trade schools and have become very successful.

David Brooks, in the NYT, when he writes today: This truly will be an administration that looks like America, or at least that slice of America that got double 800s on their SATs. Even more than past administrations, this will be a valedictocracy — rule by those who graduate first in their high school classes. If a foreign enemy attacks the United States during the Harvard-Yale game any time over the next four years, we’re screwed.

This is good news.  But surely, Crazy Rod will appeal to the IL Supreme Crt.
