More Imaginary Money to Spend
And exactly where is this money going to be coming from?
[paywalled article] Chicago elections could soon be rewired by a new bucket of cash: taxpayer-funded matching money that multiplies small-dollar campaign contributions.
City Council candidates would get as much as $200,000 in public funds linked to small contributions if a new ordinance proposed by Ald. Matt Martin, 47th, passes. The legislation aims to dampen the oversized influence of wealthy donors, he said at a news conference Tuesday.
“Our current campaign finance system is broken,” said Martin, chair of the council’s Ethics Committee. “Too often it forces candidates to rely heavily on a few big special interest donors to fund their campaigns.”
The public campaign financing plan would cost the city an estimated $9.5 million in every four-year election cycle, Martin said. Candidates would need to qualify and opt into the program and abide by a series of fundraising-restricting rules to receive the public money.
Chicago can't fund pensions, tree trimming, pothole repair, rodent control and a myriad of other projects, but they're going to find $9.5 million for politicians too inept to raise their own election money?

The uninformed, low information voting sheep of Chicago will welcome this. The Democrats will skillfully put another one over on the citizens hoping that old adage, “There’s a sucker born every minute!” works.
It's the Chicago way....
Huh?
Damn, these democrats are sooooooo fucking bent.
Now who gets the money? Only funding the assholes they slate.
When it comes to DemoRats, It's always been about lining their own pockets and screw everyone else. Come to think of it, will the illegals be pissed off that they are not getting that money?? What happened with the money when CONEHEAD went to D.C. to ask for more money for the illegals...funny how NO one has said anything more about that...did the Feebs secretly pay-up millions more that we don't know about?
And then they'll find ways to only give it to the ones that they want elected under the guise that the ones who didn't get it did not follow the protocol for eligibility. Is a scam to keep those in power by tilting the scale. What a joke.
Nice slush fund. Hairdressers and side pieces galor at your expense...
Falls under the "lets fleece and steal more taxpayers cash!" Did brandon go to the rahm school indoctrination center and find billions in hidden cash? Seems like it spreading our cash everywhere except on more police. Hey wait a minute Larry and your gold star clowns whatever happened to putting the desk dollies on the streets? Whatever happened to hiring retirees for desk spots? Funny that's right you even got rid of qualified old timers with boat loads of experience teaching the federally paid constitutional policing and let the kids bring in their friends with zero experience what about another 100+ coppers off the streets inside cush spots?
Perfect example as to why myself and family are moving from Illinois!
My family has four people [Myself, Wife and two kids], and think how many more can move who think like us!
Bye! Shitcago, Crook County and Hellinois!

Everyone is moving by many are going nowhere! You talk to guys "I am getting the F out of here" couple years ago same guys same refrain, 5-10 years later still moving but still here! Where is this place that is this law and order place your moving to? Are you still here?
Connect the dots. The money for this is coming from the pool of dollars that used to pay for Shotspotter. Do away with a valuable crime prevention tool and use the money to fund candidates who wish push the far left agenda. Brilliant.
Gee. What can go wrong with this?
It’s time to storm the castle.
Fuck every Alderman
Hell, we're the government! We can print more money.
Think of it as. Reparations for aldermen
I've had many people tell me they think conehead is mentally challenged.
After yesterday listening to him about the 7 year old, I also think he's a few cards short of a full deck.
So if I run for an Alder Creature spot, how much do they give me for my campaign?
If only I could go about spending imaginary money
"Wealthy Special Interest Donors"... heh.
You mean like the Chiraqi Teachers Union?
And their $100K donations to Prickwrinkle?

How many are run by republicans?
Where was the $100 million Mayor Johnson claims he spent actually spent?
Who received it, when,where did the employees of stopthe violence work? What times did the employees work,any paper work,time cards.
This is a money laundering with no results,that’s his action. A retired police officer, seven year old murdered. Couple weeks ago a senior citizen stabbed by an illegal. Illegals are receiving more benefits than citizens of Chicago.
Recall this mayor , he’s worse than Lightfoot. At least Lightfoot had a brain.
Conehead as bad as slow joe. Both must be voted out .
