Chicago's Super Mayor
-
I saw this story about a month ago and thought I posted it, but I can't find the thread.
Dolton, IL is a suburb of Chicago - far south side.
It elected an....interesting mayor.

She still loves you...

If she loses her job, she can always come here and join the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors…

Can they afford her?
Do they have a police force which will dance with her?
including hiring a DJ to punctuate her points during government meetings, and co-opting cops to dance in her music videos

She wants an ice rink. The trustees say no. She gives a deposit to a company to start construction, Trustees find out and block payment, so she sneaks to another company and pays them to do it.
How the hell does that even happen? Does the mayor have total fiscal control for the town? Beyond that, any type of civic expenditure like that requires bids and such. You can’t just cut a check…

See the unemployment video I posted today. If we actually have 25% unemployment, we must fund the bread and circuses to make sure the dependent masses vote the "right" way.

I’m sure the veto will be overridden…
"The board plans to override Henyard’s veto next month, WGN reported."
