| Joe Moore's Money |
Joe Moore, on the other hand, had 101 itemized contributions totaling $55,150.00. For Joe Moore these figures are low. There's also four transfers to Moore for $16,000.00. $10,000.00 came from Toni Preckwinkle and $5000.00 came from David Orr. Moore has $46,968.28 available.
Knowing how Joe Moore can raise a cool half million in the blink of an eye, on the money front, Moore wins hands-down.

I did my trash rounds today.
Filled one 30 gallon trash bag with litter from wayne to farwell to greenview to morse and back to wayne. The litter is especially bad in the Dollar Store Parking Lot along the fence where it abuts the apt building. That needs some help.
They are making headway into clearing out the defunct laundry mat next to the golden minimart.
The worker in there was using a sawzall to cut the pipes that the washing machines were connected to and I saw a worker taking out a pop machine with a dolly.
Alot of the washing machines are gone. Good.
yep, that laundry place is gross - now if they could just get rid of the ghetto gates in minimart, dry cleaners etc - you know more people might actually step into those stores if the gates were gone.
In general I would like to see the golden minimart either get fixed up and carry better items or close.
Basically the minimart is a warehouse for scratchoffs, pure juice vodka mixers, smokes, chips, debbie snack cakes, sodas and thats it. Its also the major supplier of the local litter industry.
The 49th ward is full of activists, young and old and of all stripes. Yet they are not organized enough to hold a convention here in our lovely lakeside ward?
The numbers you quoted for Moore are probably low, and still, Joe Moore's money pot goes toward buying a measly 30% turnout of eligible voters (that's all that turned out for his last reelection). Regardless, all one hears about Joe Moore from his supporters is "he's such a nice guy!" From everyone else, that he was and is unavailable, unresponsive and generally missing in action. Every registered voter has the opportunity to let their opinion of the current Alderman be known on February 22nd. The devil you know, or the one you don't? Seems like the motley crew that makes up Rogers Park/49th ward is, or at least should be, ready for change...
Sure, change is great but I don't really see any viable options.
geofredo - I completely agree with the minimart definition - one day I saw him kicking the trash in front of his building into the street! There would be a lot fewer low lifes and bangers hanging around that corner if that place was gone.
Off topic, Craig: I stopped by Morseland this week, and your name came up. A competition started up to see who could do the best Craig impression. It became pretty loud and comical, each person trying to top the drunken, screaming conspiracy theories of the next.
You might have enjoyed it if you were allowed to go in there.
Just like 2007. Let them keep talking about Craig and they forget about the guy running against Joe.
To "Razldazlrr"- no "viable options"; I guess that's why people sit and complain, but don't make it out to the polls; make grand statements from the comfort of their computer, but not out the in the streets where they may hear their own voice deemed "non-viable"; criticize, but aren't able to either enact their own ideas or get behind the ideas of others.
