Marchers found lots of little pink slips like this blowing around under the Greenview underpass behind the ward office Saturday.Not sure what this all means. Does anybody know?
The simple truth is that Joe has run the 49th ward in such a way that he can no longer achieve full community support.
In the first elecction, more than half of the voting public stated they wanted Joe fired. Can you imagine that after more than 15 years in office? Half of your "customers" want you fired?
Joe then proceeded to spend record amounts of money for a little neighborhood run-off, dragging in the unions to bully for him and otherwise pull every lying, dirty trick in the book to ultimately pull ahead by a couple hundred votes.
His response is behave like the smug to anyone he perceives as a non-supporter. Just like he called you to draw that line in the sand, to make you declare which side you are on.
His actions are so remarkably slimy and his performance so below par that there is no way in hell the "them" half of his ward will ever support him.
Therefore, Joe is in a constant state of battle. It's impossible for him to build consensus, so he'll never get community-wide support for anything. At least half of his ward will always be against anything he proposes. They will also be suspect of his true motives.
And that, if you think about it, is why he can never do his job effectively.

Now that makes sense, given Joe's perpetual whining that:
- Anyone who isn't with him is "very difficult to work with."
- Everything would be great, except for "a small faction of negative people."
None of this is Joe's fault at all! It's ours! And all those people -- half of the community he serves -- who think he's worthless are simply wrong.
