The real reason Mayor Daley is not running again
Mayor Daley mortgaged the future. Chicago is so screwed he doesn't want to stick around to take the blame.
He's lost the theater community. Soon taxes are going up and more "well heeled" residents will make their way tothe suburbs Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan.
Raiding rainy day funds and TIFs and sell off money makers like parking will only paper over the problems the next mayor will have to deal with...the unions. Mayor Daley shut down a lot of bars especially the small packaged goods taverns that hosted a few old men. (RIP Ray.) You can expect a casino opening in Chicago before too long.
