Rahm Emanuel's Rubber Stamp City Council
Rahm Emanuel’s Rubber Stamp City Council Chicago City Council Report #7 June 8, 2011- November 15, 2014 Authored By: Beyza Buyuker Melissa Mouritsen Dick Simpson University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science December 9, 2014 By Thanksgiving 2014, more than 250 candidates had filed to run for alderman as had ten mayoral candidates. The city council approved Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s $7.3 billion budget with $62.4 million in tax increases by a vote of 46-4 and the following week approved an ordinance to raise the minimum wage to 13 on hour by 2019. At the same time, three aldermen called upon the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Chicago Inspector General, and the city comptroller to investigate potentially illegal campaign contributions to Mayor Emanuel from financial firms that manage city pension funds. As the 2015 elections loom, it is a time of both controversy and strong mayoral control of the city council. Despite signs of occasional controversy and opposition, the city council under Mayor Rahm Emanuel has remained a rubber stamp. Mayor Emanuel has recently lost some support compared to his first two years as the council has had more frequent divided roll call votes. Nonetheless, it continues as a rubber stamp council. In fact, for his entire three and a half years under Mayor Emanuel it has remained more of a rubber stamp than under either Mayors Richard J. or Richard M. Daley. Histograms of voting behavior show that the city council in the last two years under the Mayor Emanuel was more likely to disagree with mayor than during his first two years.

With David Paterson’s picture prominently displayed on the department homepage (a photo of recently-departed Superintendent Harry Corbitt is buried two layers down) there’s little doubt as to who’s really in charge. And that may be part of the problem. On Halloween evening, October 31, 2009, New York City cops were summoned to a Bronx apartment where an anguished woman told them that David Johnson, a man with whom she had been living, “had choked her, stripped her of much of her clothing, smashed her against a mirrored dresser and taken two telephones from her to prevent her from calling for help.” Johnson, who is six-foot seven, was gone, and officers filed a misdemeanor report. Two days later, while seeking a restraining order in family court, the victim told a referee that her assailant could probably be found at the Governor’s mansion. You see, David Johnson was until days ago the Governor’s top aide.

GI LFOYLE ary Dempsey and Bernarda "Bernie" Wong are pan of a long and deep tradition of Chicago women engaging in transformative M social and municipal services. From 1994 to 2012, Dempsey served as commissioner of the Chicago Public Library system. When she started, the city's public library system was, in the words of the Chicago Tribune , "the runt of the litter" among local cultural institutions. Only two libraries had Internet access, numerous branches operated out of tiny storefronts or leased trailers, and the staff was demoralized. Nearly two decades later, when she resigned as commissioner, Dempsey had spearheaded the construction of forty-four new libraries, created the nationally acclaimed One Book, One Chicago citywide reading program, and initiated innov ative digital-learning initiatives such as YOU media.

Failing Our Children II. Testing - What’s the Problem with ‘No Child Left Untested’? “The statewide test bombards the schools with pressure… In the second week of school we get things from the teacher like, “This was on the test last year so listen up”… The pressure restricts teachers from doing their job… They can’t help struggling students fully understand the material because when the student starts to finally kind of get it, it’s time to move on so they can get the entire curriculum taught. … The test pressure just about kills some kids. I have never heard a student say, All this pressure from the test gets me fired up! More often, I see kids cracking. They start freaking out… the test is taking away the real meaning of school. Instead of learning new things and getting tools for life, the mission of the schools is becoming to do well on the test.” — Seventh-grade student quoted in Louisville Courier Journal, February 10, 2003 “Nancy Baker, a reading teacher at Bristol Borough Junior-Senior High School, is discouraged by the emphasis on test-taking. Her students, who used to write reports on 11 books a year, now read only eight books because they have to prepare for the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment test, which relies on short-paragraph writing and multiple-choice questions.” — “Battles Ahead over No Child Left Behind,” Philadelphia Inquirer, by Dale Mezzacappa, Toni Callas and Kellie Patrick, Nov. 18, 2003. “Accountability should not rest on a single day, a single hour, a single Texas, which gave testing situation.
