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.

  • SNG-Chicago Mayor's Race-12-3-18
    SNG-Chicago mayor’s race-12-3-18 Keeping score tricky in Chicago mayor’s race By Jim Nowlan The mayor of Chicago is arguably more important than the governor of Illinois. Maybe that’s why more than two dozen have been gathering petitions for the city’s Feb. 26 non-partisan election (though all the candidates are Democrats). Chicago is both less and more than it used to be. After World War II, the city alone had 3.6 million residents, more than half the state’s total population. Today, there are 2.7 million, just one in five Illinoisans. Yet central city Chicago is the beating heart of a three-state metropolis of 10 million people, with a gross economic product that would make it the 20th largest nation in the world by that measure. And I hate to say it, but the region sends lots of tax money to support schools and services for struggling Downstate communities like mine. Chicago is a tale of at least two cities: One, the mostly white, booming downtown and North Side, where millennials flock to good high tech and professional services jobs. The other, largely African-American and Latino to the south and west, where residents feel left behind and often live in fear of out-of-control, homicidal gang bangers. The next mayor has to keep the boom booming and also tackle the wrenching problems in the neighborhoods. He or she will face a budget that is in even worse shape than the basket-case state fiscal mess, with huge payments looming for police and fire pensions and big debts to retire, and no money to pay either.

  • “The Chicago Way” Casts Shadow on Mayor's Race
    SNG-Culture of corruption casts shadow “The Chicago Way” casts shadow on mayor’s race By Jim Nowlan A culture of corruption known as “The Chicago Way” has cast a shadow over at least four of the leading candidates in a field of 14 vying to occupy that city’s top job. As I have written in this space, I think the job of Chicago mayor is arguably more important than that of Illinois governor. The three-state metropolis of 11 million gathered around Chicago is one of the world’s great megacity regions. Much of Illinois is heavily dependent upon Chicago. For example, the future of Peoria and its local Caterpillar employees are heavily affected at CAT headquarters, now located in the megacity. I define the Chicago Way of corruption as unearned personal gain at public expense. The Chicago Way came to the fore recently when the U.S. Department of Justice complained that powerful Chicago alderman Ed Burke attempted to extort property tax appeal business for his law firm. He allegedly did this by offering to help a fast food business get its necessary permits from the city, which indeed he had been holding up. For maybe a century, leading Cook County (Chicago) Democratic politicians have operated a scam: The elected assessor, always a Democrat, jacks up property valuations on big properties. “Property tax lawyers” (nearly all top Democrat officeholders and party officials) then appeal the assessments in behalf of their property owner-clients. The lawyers often win big reductions in tax assessments for their clients, and thus in their tax bills.

The nights he took his turn sleeping on the couch or floor. The jam-packed Thanksgiving gatherings and joyful games played in the yard on Drexel Boulevard. The people he recalled getting gunned down on the front sidewalk. The difficulties he had at school, and the grants and scholarships that helped him attend Mount Carmel High School and Northwestern University. “Chicago afforded me some opportunities. Chicago also presented a lot of struggles for me …. crunched up in this apartment, not always having the space we needed, not always having the money we needed, not always having food on the table like we needed it,” Sales-Griffin said. “So many other people have experienced far worse than I ever did, and that’s the stuff I think about every day.
