“Two sources told me that he has been in the hospital for these panic attacks. He is stressed out,” Padilla said. “This is a big, big job for him. He’s not ready for it. He’s not a leader. I’m sorry. This immigration issue is not helping him at all."

 
Shaking my head.

Chicago has been in trouble for decades with poor mayors. Having lived there 19 years over 3 different moves, and 4 times downtown in the Loop or River North, we’ve seen our share of them come and go.
Byrne,
Emmanuel,
Washington,
Orr,
Sawyer &
Daley Jr. 22years!

There is a lot to be said for a strong-armed approach.
But sadly after 19 years we didn’t have a single good one.

The guy was a functionary in the Chicago Teacher Union, and they put him in office. I've watched a few videos of his speeches, and you could see him getting more agitated/frantic as time went on.

All the major cities are lost causes. Increased murder rates, property crimes, yet the denizens of those urban death traps keep voting for more of the same, or worse.

I hope he gets the mental health care he needs, then resigns.

Anyone who would want to be in charge of Chicago needs serious meds.
