News Star headlines read.....Candidates get cash from real estate interests.
Blognotes: Alderman Moore wasn't telling the truth Monday night in front of a live television audience. He said the people at the table next to him couldn't connect the dots between campaign contributions and favors for developers.
Well the 'Broken Heart' has - and now the News Star can too. More to come. Remember the Pivot Point Project on Howard.

You want development, you say there's too many empty store fronts. Not enough affordable housing etc.
You hate developers. They give money to candidates, they build for profit, they're pure evil.
Yet you want more development, like Trader Joes.
You don't like unions yet you bitch at more for who developers handle.
Are you living in reality or is the republican party trying to make a come back in our state?
Because being republican is the only way you could live with those two positions, you'd have to kidding yourself...You know like Bush supports the troops but out patient care sucks, that kind of thing. Congrats I think you're seeing red, not that there's anything wrong with it.

oh, I get it
if you are in favor of development,
you have to agree to incumbent politicians selling their legislative services in return for campaign contributions
bought-and-paid- for career politicians are the price we pay
development = pay-to-play
that's how the game is played
how cynical
I think there's a better way
Let's see, what about Homan Square developed privately for non-yuppie types? Unfortunately Charles Shaw or anyone like him was not sought to create 'affordable housing'.
In RP it seems to be feast or famine. And in RP keep the famine in a few little pockets, turn some bad buildings into condos and call it a day. "I rest my laurels as a leader of the 49th ward and I'm Joe Moore. I will defend the bad owners, I will protect the poor who have to live in those buildings but not today...maybe tomorrow. I'm late, I have a zoning meeting to attend and Loretta Swit will be calling later to meet with Jana and me."
yada yada
But yet oddly enough JoMo's best pal screamed at MASmith in the 48th ward, when one project went through his BFF DIDN'T like. JoMo was 100% behind the maniac and his pals. Just like the blog where Tim whatshisass got JoMo to harrass the owner of the building next door, JoMo allowed and encouraged his best buddy to go on a ramage for almost a year, he was finally shut down a few weeks ago. Say bye bye JoMo, ta ta old sweetie pie. JoMO sleeps with the wicked.
JoMo loves harrassing the perceived enemies of his loyal followers. Face it, JoMo goes after anyone who doesn't drool at the sight of him or sigh at every fib he mutters. Is that why no one from the ward office showed up at Craig's court date today?
think about it.
