We Can't Believe We're Doing This....

But you have to vote in the City Treasurer's race and you have to vote for Aldercreature Jason Ervin's wife:

• Chicago voters will have a choice for a new city treasurer for the first time this century as three candidates vie to replace the retiring incumbent in the first contested treasurer race since 1999.
  
  One of the three hopefuls — state Rep. Melissa Conyears-Ervin, D-Chicago, accountant Peter Gariepy or Ald. Ameya Pawar (47th) — will take the place of outgoing Treasurer Kurt Summers, who announced in October he would not seek re-election.
  
  Though the new treasurer will be tasked with managing the city’s escrow and operating fund accounts, controlling the city’s investments and overseeing the city’s pension funds, ideas have been floated that envision more for the office.

Here's the issue:

• Conyears-Ervin said she would undertake a watchdog role that would offer more transparency of city finances.
  
  [...]
  
  Pawar, meanwhile, said he would look to fight income inequality by launching a public bank that would offer low-interest loans to residents looking to start small-businesses, buy homes or refinance their student loans.

Pewar wants to start a "public bank" and guess where he's going to find the millions (or billions) of dollars necessary to finance a bank?

• our pension dollars

This has to be stomped on. Hard. So hard that Pewar's ancestors scream.

Aldercreature Erwin is a straight up jagoff always on the cusp of a federal indictment and we can't say much for Mrs. Erwin putting up with his shit. But Pewar is talking about straight up stealing already ailing pension funds.
