I have voted for him each time he has run & would do so again.
Dear Paul Vallas
Ditch the doofus goatee. People don't take you seriously with the scruffy look.
Dress for the job you aspire to. This isn't the time to wear your tennis clothes.
Don't parse your phrasing: no mincing, no soft-soaping your verbiage.
Keep your liberal bent a bit under wraps, so middle of the road people won't run screaming in the opposite direction.
Promise to restore some semblance of safety and sanity to our city.
Thank you.
God I hope not, he has lost at least two races for mayor and state office. We need somebody new.
Let’s hope!!!
Don't worry joyce will jump in split the vote like last time so groot wins again.
Preckwinkle will line up 5 other people to run against herself
Anybody is better than groot or prickwinkle , shit Rahm was at least a step up
Scarecrow policing, I like that! They city would save a lot of money using scarecrow inflatable police officers and squads. They wouldn't be able to perform any police functions just like the live police whose hands have been tied and ordered to stand down.
I’ll take a navel lint over this disaster that calls itself a “Mayor”
Totally agree! Downtown is now a messed up!
Vallas really needs to just shut up and go away...several attempts to get elected to various offices here in Illinois have fizzled out for him. He'll never be the man he sees himself as. His time has, once again, come and gone. Bye, and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Voted for him last time. Everyone was all: “he’s part of Daley’s machine...” “don’t vote for him, he’s part of the problem...”
Well, I’ll take “Daley-type” problems over what we got now any day of the week, and thrice on Sunday.

Yea he's running, for Cook county President.
Hopefully he runs again, but of course scumbag machine candidate Jerry Joyce will throw his hat in. If Jerry Joyce was a real candidate, he would of ran for state's attorney against ghetto Kim. Hopefully the Mt Greenwood crowd realizes its OK to vote for a non southside Irish candidate next time.
Are you a new follow for Vallas?
He has been critical of LL since jump and has had our back through it all.
this isn’t a new twist all of a sudden, but standard for him.
Sadly Cops wasted their votes on Joyce, if Vallas does run next time we all need to back him.
Rumor has him living in Palos. Running against Preckwinkle in 2 years.
Hey Fioretti, instead of being a cock blocker, help someone such as Vallas or Wilson who might have a real chance.
And fuck Daley, Joyce, Chico Mendoza and Preckwinkle, stay the fuck out! You assholes gave us the Groot.
Well, now I understand why he didn’t make it in education—it's "en masse."
Sure, why not?
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
kass must be foaming at the mouth with glee.
too bad we have to wait longer to find out, a loooong 2 years!!!
If these dumbass motherfuckers would obey the laws and the Police we wouldn't have these problems.

I would welcome Paul as mayor.
Run again? He never had a chance to even remotely make it to the runoff. He, Joyce and McCarthy are responsible for giving us Lightfoot. If you don’t think you would have been better off with Bill Daley as Mayor you are out of your mind. Vallas alone gave us Groot.
Should've backed him in the last election !
He’s white and will never be elected, besides why take the blame from our first black gay woman who destroyed the city in less than 1 term.
By far would’ve been the best mayor for Chicago. But hey. Keep voting for Joyce because he’s a “mt greenwood guy.” Hoods being led to the slaughter
No run just realized the value of his real estate is falling through the floor.

Really? How about Byron sigcho Lopez?
All we need are Joyce and that perpetual runner Fioretti and no legit candidate will have a chance as usual. These jokers screwed us the last time.
Went downtown for the first time in six months. The boarded up windows are depressing. The blue light on every block was great show of force, but it also feels a bit like a war zone. Groot let the city burn twice and for months let roving gangs run lose, really screwed downtown.
he is exciting in a tweet but dry as paper towel when he speaks
Vallas may try but he won't be elected. The Latinos are saying it is their turn to fuck up what is left of the city. Who will it be? Potty mouth Lopez who got a boost for releasing the phone call? Or will it be one of the Democratic Socialist? I am waiting to see the batttle between Sigcho-Lopez and Ramirez-Rosa.
Wasn't he head of schools? I think the correct version of "in mass" is en masse. Idiot. But I appreciate his comments!

That's a toss up.
#AnyoneButLori
I'd vote for Taxwinkle at this point.
What Vallas needs is to realize he is no democrat.
Just another chicago democrat don’t get your hopes up.♠️

The corrupt Daley machine would NEVER let this shit get out of control.
If all the white guys who want to be mayor would just get behind one candidate the one left would win in a landslide! Dummies all gotta run and feed their egos so now we have Groot.
Don't worry joyce will jump in split the vote like last time so groot wins again.

F U you DemoRat, that was Bill Daley's job dick!
Vallas is a true, documented reformer with a boatload of accomplishments. His education reforms have save schools nationwide. CPS rejected his ideas. His financial plans had too much saving and not enough patronage hiring and wasteful spending.
Unions hate him too.
Sure, he was a Daley appointee, just like Claypool another reformer, but Claypool played the Machine game and has 3-4 pensions to prove it. When Vallas instituted his financial reforms it was all good because it saved ShortShanks, but when he wanted to cut more waste and grift, he was ousted from The Machine for exposing those political friends and family handouts.
Voter remorse or complacency? Stay Inside and Off the Beach is that freedom and liberty?
Raising bridges and a census cowboy, what else has Part-time Larri done besides those scarecrow police and the border collie police, both hand-off monitors? If the plywood doesn’t speak Larri’s failure then the stand-don’t lean police should.
Three years is a long time to wait to change that poopy diaper of a mayor.
Vallas needs to stay relevant and I agree that his image and tone needs an update.
Perhaps a petition drive for Recall Larri referendum could be started. Start campaigning Paul.
We live in an age of identity politics. People vote for an image. Mike huckabee and newt Gingrich would make great presidents... but, they don’t have the look/image. Vallas would be a better mayor.... but, can he create a movement?
Isn't Valas the gadfly asshole who got rid of air rifles in CPS?
Anonymous at 04:55:00 AM - That is heresy! You have to belong to St. Barnabas - St. Cajetan or Christ The King to even be considered for Mayor. And need to hang out at Top Notch on 95th.
Plus it helps if you went to Brother Rice or Marist - St. Rita or St Lawrence are acceptable.
What ever happened with the shooting in the CtA red line?
I voted for Pee-Wee Herman.
rb
Fioretti will also jump in again to split the vote, as he runs for every f’n office. Guy has no shame.
Sorry, SCC! I like Paul Vallas!
Thanks Captain Obvious. You're probably lucky that you didn't win. You were probably the only one that could have turned things around. I voted for you in every election. If you didn't come up short against Blago by 2000 votes, Illinois would be in a better place. You didn't though and Illinois and Chicago are beyond saving. You are obviously frustrated as many of us are, but Illinois and Chicago got the leadership they wanted and have to live with the consequences.
Whether he's running for mayor or county board president, he'll get nowhere unless he's willing to do the Machine's bidding.
Is Vallas that kind of guy?
rb
I voted for him last time. I loved his response to the 10 commandment book covers when he was head of the schools. I will vote for him again.
Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas has endorsed the offcampus distribution to schoolkids of book covers with the Ten Commandments printed on them, saying they're values no one could argue with.
I voted for him ladt time time and woild do so again. He's a financial guy. Just what we need at a time when our pensions are in danger and our tax base is disappearing.
Who was that Spanish Alderman who taped Groots bullshit? Him I liked.
Vallas' uncle was Pete Valesares; Pete was a detecive who served in Area2, Area 1, and at the academy. Pete's first case was the Speck murders.

Rahm was a dick, but at least he put the welfare of the city first. There's no way he would have let it burn the Lil' Larry has.

Insanity = what now?
Vallas had better stand before the wall of hard and pointy
self-examination/reflection and thoroughly criticize himself
regarding his prior runs for elected office, figure out where
he went wrong and NOT DO IT AGAIN!
Yeah... The Daleyites and the old Downtown money men
will put Joyce or Daley III up to be a spoiler because
too many of them are still alive (including Shortshanks)
to face the Hangman for a long overdue neck-stretching
(hopefully while wearing their body weight in chains)
if Vallas lays hold of the REAL municipal books and the
last 70 years of thievery, beak-wetting and municipal
corporate fiscal dick-pulling gets revealed.
Hopefully he runs again, but of course scumbag machine candidate Jerry Joyce will throw his hat in. If Jerry Joyce was a real candidate, he would of ran for state's attorney against ghetto Kim. Hopefully the Mt Greenwood crowd realizes its OK to vote for a non southside Irish candidate next time.
8/26/2020 04:55:00 AM
Ok would you rather have Groot or Bill Daley? Easy question. All the a-holes that wanted to prove their point and fuck everything up by voting for Joyce got what they deserved. Daley could have easily beaten Prick with those Joyce votes. Then in the general, he may have been able to weasel his way past Groot. Like him or not, the city would be a hell've a lot better off.
If a consequence of Joyces candidacy was preventing tillie daley from becoming mayor we owe the Joyce clan eternal gratitude. Don't forget how we've gotten to where we are. Lightfart is temporary. David Koschman R.I.P.
Napolitano
Ray Lopez for mayor. The first alderman to challenge the mayor. Next there were 4 aldermen requesting an emergency meeting to ask for the National Guard. There were 17 votes for the emergency meeting. It's only a matter of time until more alderman join the cause of restoring the city.
certainly hope so
machine politics stole governor mansion from him because he is Honest
being Honest means the Chicago machine doesn't trust you
he was robbed of mayors job by all the machine spoilers , included Joyce and daley

I’m guessing you were a big Daley guy who thought your whack was back. Truth be told Joyce was in from early on. Joyce was gaining momentum. Preckwinkle wanted it bad, Daley came in as a spoiler and he did what “the machine” wanted, give Preckwinkle a chance. Daley had absolutely no interest in truly moving back to Chicago and getting in this political mess. He was there to help Preckwinkle and put his brother in a better position within Cook County politics. Lightfoot was not even in the mix. Little did they know that at that time Preckwinkle was as despised as much as she was, and the far left snuck right in.
Joyce didn’t run for States Attorney because “the machine” is not ready to dump her yet. Preckwinkle made her and wants her around. Ask Conway about Fioretti. They sent that hack in just in case somehow Conway started actually putting together a good campaign for reasons, other then Smollett, to dump Foxx. Unfortunately that never happened. So now the only hope for good, hard working, and law abiding citizens in Cook County is to vote for O’Brien.
So please stop dwelling and making up BS from a past election that you got bluffed in to believing was a well intended political run and concentrate on the current problem at hand, where we can potentially make start to make a difference, VOTE O’BRIEN in November.
Stop voting democrat.
I don’t care what his observations are. Put pen to paper and write policy!! That will never happen.
Sorry Paul. Not falling for this
NBA acting like little bitches boycotting games fuck them...good thing I will never support there asses or go to a game. I'm not alone we are sick of athletes acting like idiots. Why don't you support the businesses that got looted by black loser matters...

Lori, when do you find time to post here on the blog!?
I hope he does run
Vallas is very pro police. He has a couple of children who are the police. Very knowledgeable about finance and budgets. He could be just what Chicago needs.

Still have no idea why all the coppers voted for that guy. Its because of him and I hate to say us that Lori is running the show.
It's good he remains critical but he himself is a liberal and pandered to the low life types. I recall he quickly condemned the Smollett attack and was doing just like everyone else. Oh those evil MAGA White guys! Though it looked very suspicious from the start, he didn't wait for any type of investigation, he is just another one of the same. Very liberal and pandering shamelessly to the community. Then he didn't say a word more about it. Hey if you are wrong say so, call Smollett out for his lies, but never a word more. He's another ball less wonder. Better and smarter than Groot but in the same pool.
Willie Wilson would of been the best mayor for Chicago!!!!!
Dumbasses don’t even realize it was Daley, fucked up Joyces chances ,
After he initially backed him ..
Oh my Brownie ain't gonna like being called stupid. Oh wait if the name fits? Stupid he is. Lights aren't working maybe time to add sirens.
So 2:18 are you really serious? Surprised that a Lightweight supporter reads SCC. Hope your happy with the way your Mayor has ruined the city in such a short time. I know your excited to be voting for Slow Joe and his Communist VP choice. Soto Yu I say a big FU. Your living proof that you can't fix stupid.
Wow, apparently some people have forgotten that Daley is why are pension is so screwed up. He used our pension fund to help out his family members

Where is he now?
People saying Joyce gave us Lightfoot are wrong. With nine candidates receiving 5% of the vote or better, and the winner at 18%, this was an exceptionally even contest. There were no spoilers, or rather everyone was a spoiler. Totals for the White candidates were: Daley 15%, Joyce 7%, Vallas 5%, McCarthy 3%, Fioretti 1%, Kozlar <1%. Was Vallas a spoiler? Was McCarthy a spoiler?
I voted for Vallas in the first round and was very disappointed when he only got 5% of the vote. He definitely would have done a better job than Lightfoot--who won because of the Sun-Times endorsement.
I have voted for him each time he has run & would do so again.
Then you are a clown...

I think you just proved Joyce WAS a spoiler. Actually Daley got in after Joyce if I remember correctly.
GooFioretti is a Jesse Jackson ass kisser. He does Jackson’s bidding in hopes of being appointed judge. His law practice is a joke. He is politically irrelevant and will be be facing law suits for not paying people. His last campaign manager was convicted of vote fraud. Put a fork in him, he’s over.
Remember dummy policing the state police used to do. They would park marked squads on the xway shoulders with dummies sitting in the driver's seats.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$
When Jane Byrne was mayor Harold Washington ran against her. Little dick Daley ran as a third candidate. Little dick Daley knew that he assured that Harold would win when he entered the race. The swamp were willing to throw the city in chaos putting in a unqualified person in office in Harold. That started council wars. Well Harold wasn’t that bad. Our biggest problem was he balanced the budget by under funding our pension. The retiree’s had to step up to the plate and take him to court.
Joyce announced early for mayor. And was doing well. His dad had a big falling out with Rahm. Joyce's father got thrown out of the Emmanuel swamp. The daley's were out and he Obama lackey's were in. Bill daley sat on the sidelines till the last minute probably so he wouldn’t have to defend his little brother dick’s dismal record. That’s how larry lightfoot got in. Larry was a better choice that taxwinkle because Foxx would have been even worse if her mentor became mayor.
After two generations of daley’s f@cking over our city I amazed how many pin heads think that they were good from the city.
So 2:18 are you really serious? Surprised that a Lightweight supporter reads SCC. Hope your happy with the way your Mayor has ruined the city in such a short time. I know your excited to be voting for Slow Joe and his Communist VP choice. Soto Yu I say a big FU. Your living proof that you can't fix stupid.
Yes, asshat, I am serious. And you're correct, I'll be voting for Biden in November. If you really paid attention to the lying fat man as he gave his speech this evening on the White House lawn, you'd vote for Joe too. But I do agree with your last comment, you truly cannot fix stupid.
The Richard Daleys Part I
When Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley died, on December 20, 1976, it was presumed that Ald. Wilson Frost (34), as President Pro Tempore would be Acting Mayor. Because of racism, with Frost locked out of the mayor's office, Frost replaced Ald. Ed Vrydolyak (11) as Finance Chair. Vrydolyak [with assistance of Ald. Ed Burke (14)?]. Vrydolyak chose fellow Croatian Ald. Michael Bilandic (11), with the proviso that Bilandic wouldn't run in the Chicago Mayoral Special Election (June 7, 1977). Ald. Patrick Huels (11) replaced Bilandic, as alderman. State Senator Richard M. Daley wasn't considered for alderman. Why? To be appointed Acting Mayor, he needed to be appointed alderman. Did Vrydolyak block that consideration? Probably.
Reneging on his promise, Bilandic ran for mayor, with the Cook County Democrats' blessing, defeating Ald. Roman Pucinski (41), State Senator Harold Washington and Ed Hanarahan. The younger Daley did not run.
More in Part 2.
¹llll I l llllol LL LL llll lol
The Richard Daley Years Part 2
In April 1979 Jane Byrne defeated Bilandic, having been angered with voters, over the January 1979 Blizzard crippling drivers, CTA, pedestrians and CTA ELs bypassing Black riders. Bilandic had nothing blizzard clean up plans. Bilandic had White Ethnic support, while Byrne had Lakefront Liberal and Black support. Hispanics were split.
Cook County Chair George Dunne never supported Daley (1977, 1979) and Byrne (1979) for mayor.
Byrne dumped Blacks and Lakefront Liberals, for White Ethics, as shown in her CHA and CBOE appointments. Byrne, now a part of the Evil Cabal endorses Burke for CCSA (1980) abd Republican Incumbent Bernard Carey, over Daley who won the CCSA primary and general election (1980). Byrne and Vrydolyak replace Dunne as Cook County Dem Chair with EV (1982).
Cong. Washington defeats Byrne and Daley (1983). Council Wars begin, as EV and EB don't like Harold (because he's Black?). Vrydolyak 29 and Washington 21 battle it out over delayed appointments, until certain wards are remapped, giving EV 25 and HW 25 each, with HW the tie breaking vote. Harold wins again (1987), but dies a few months later, replaced by David Orr (Vice Mayor) briefly, then Ald. Eugene Sawyer (6) over Ald. Tim Evans (4). Daley finally wins (1989).
8/28/2020 04:20:00 PM
Poor Wilson Frost. He was a loyal Daley soldier and got steamrolled.
In 1990, when Cook County Board President George Dunne retired, Finance Chair John Stroger should have ascended to the presidency, similarly as Dunne did replacing Richard Olgivie (who was elected governor) in 1969.
Instead Dunne [also Cook County Dems Chair again 1987-1991, because EV became a Republican] endorsed State Senator Ted Lechowicz, who wasn't a Cook County Commissioner yet. Lechowicz and Cook County Clerk Stanley Kusper battled, losing to Richard Phelan. Stroger won in 1994.
Willie Wilson kicks butt!
Lying fat man? Didn't your father, if you ever even knew who he was, teach you any respect for the Office of the President of the United States?
