Protecting the backside of your friends
Sure, I can agree with Mayor Daley.
The Mayor is being criticized by some for his appointments to the City Council. He has now appointed 19 of the 50 Chicago council members. He denies those appointments are just puppet votes for his proposals. The Mayor claims he appoints the best candidates possible.
I have long advocated vacant council appointments be made by the Mayor. It is the least messiest way of filling vacancies.
I’ve got your back Mayor.

Mayoral appointments should be made until the next scheduled election for the position. The cost of having a “special election” for each vacant post is not worth the money or hassle.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

And I’ll bet Daley NEVER appointed anyone who disagreed with him. Just look at the way Chicago operates. Scandals everywhere. This is bad all the way around. Whether its the least “messiest way” or not, it should always be in the hands of the voter. Thats why someone invented special elections, to take care of matters like this.
