Nice Gesture

Someone who has taken a lot of heat here over the years:

• Southwest Side Ald. Matt O’Shea will bring lunch to all of the city’s police districts, detective divisions and headquarters on Tuesday, his office said.
  
  O’Shea, who represents the first responder-heavy 19th Ward, will deliver more than 1,900 pizza, pasta and salad lunches, his office said. The alderman will be joined by interim police Superintendent Charlie Beck at the 9th District, O’Shea’s spokeswoman said.
  
  O’Shea’s 19th Ward Youth Foundation launched a GoFundMe three weeks ago and has raised more than $76,000 for front-line medical workers and other first responders. Its goal is to raise $100,000.
  
  His office said the purpose of the initiative is not just to provide meals to those on the front lines of the COVID-19 struggle, but to support local restaurants whose business has suffered because of the pandemic.

Sure it's political - what isn't in this town? Hopefully, it covers all the watches....after all, we never close, even in the midst of a health emergency.

(comments closed here because we don't feel like weeding out all of the BS that's sure to pop up - just say thanks and move on...there's plenty of time for politics tomorrow)
