Now, I know that the Emanuel camp prides itself on specificity but they might want to reconsider his messaging.
Yes, it's true, if the Mayor of Chicago continues to f*ck the public by stuffing public services into the proverbial meat-grinder, it will churn out plenty of spoils for his cronies and cohorts. It's The Shock Doctrine that Naomi Klein wrote about and the tactics of disaster capitalism are indeed, very specific: destroy public services for privatized profit. And, if people get in the way, well, f*ck the public.
De-funding public libraries, public mental health clinics, public schools ... for a comprehensive review of Emanuel's policies as Mayor of the City of Chicago, and the public's spirited response, i.e Karen Lewis and Chicago Teachers, please refer to Kari Lydersen's book, Mayor 1%.
I'm with Chuy. Commissioner Jesus Garcia has 30 years of public service behind him and despite what Rahm may think, government is for the public by the public.
Public: noun. the people constituting a community, state, or nation.
That's specific enough for me.
