Chicago Mayoral Candidates Unworthy of Black Community and Paratransit Rider Support Until They Appear
Chicago Mayoral Candidates Unworthy of Black Community and Paratransit Rider Support Until They Appear
Sat. March 14, 2015 marked a turning point in the opinions of voters from the disability and Black communty who came together to hear Rahm Emanuel and Jesus Chuy Garcia deliver their plan for a Black agenda and for paratranist improvements.
Though Chuy may have seemed the favorite in this runoff among Black community and disability leaders, his failure to show after confirming, does not bode well for him.
Rahm is famous for not showing up where he may not be the favorite son. He prefers quick handshakes along the CTA Red LIne whee he can aproach the Blacjk community without engaging in meaningful dialog with them. He didnot show either.
Chuy will have to do better to forge the Black-Mexican connection in this city whose Big Shoulders have atrophied and pushed Blacks and people who ride paratransit off to the side or to the curb to make more room for corporate America and large union interests.
