12 months since Moore was re-elected promising a new era of open community process and transparency;
6 months since the last known meeting of Moore's so-called "community" zoning committee;
1 week since what some Moore apologists excuse as a minor "screw-up" was first reported here on the "Broken Heart," and since "MoisesMichaels" and others called Moore's office and pointed this out, and still no website update from Moore's multiple-hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollar per year office staff;
2 days until Moore pushes through City Council a very permissive zoning change with no "community" zoning committee meeting, no neighborhood or block club meeting, no notice, no brief project descriptions, no community process whatsoever.

I'm keeping this post, Hugh and Craig.
Let's all individually archive every post relating Joe's secrecy, autocratic ways, encouragement of slumlords and criminal elements, and lack of regard for the desires and concerns of the citizens who live and do legitimate business in Rogers Park, and who love it and are committed to making it a better place to live and do business.
When legislation is passed giving us a mechanism to recall an elected official who is clearly not doing his job, we can get to work.
While most elected officials don't exactly fulfill their promises, not many have broken so many promises with the speed Joe has.
Kind of off topic; but if anyone has had bad dealings with Lohan Realty/Builders, or wants to go to a CAPS meeting to complain about the large groups of loud, violent kids (especially on Pratt between Ashland and Greenview), let me know. I'm Alex, and my e-mail is afei@comcast.net.
Of course I agree that transparency and real community meetings are a good idea.
On the other hand I don't think I have a problem with this zoning change on first blush.
No disrespect to people doing Biz over there but that strip always seemed like a dead zone to me.
It's not like they are putting in a steel mill (though we could use the jobs)
