@Jolly said in Getting It Good & Hard:
The last Republican mayor of Detroit was elected in the 1950's. I'd say Detroit went down a bit since then...
Yeah, but look at Chicago. No question that there was all kinds of corruption, nepotism etc during the Daley (both of them) years. But Daley Jr did a great job of rehabbing the city. The Loop became vibrant, the city, at least the business and shopping areas, was clean. Rahm Emmanuel (remember him?) almost seemed like a placeholder, but the city didn't go into the crapper. That started under Lightfoot, and it'll continue, I fear, under Johnson.
The last Republican mayor of Chicago was "Big Bill" Thompson in 1931.
Wanna talk about corruption??.
