Running for Alderman of the 49th Ward cost money. Lot's of money. Since challenger Don Gordon announced he'd run against the incumbent in the 2015 election, our 49th Ward Alderman has been on a tear - collecting campaign contributions from major real estate and corporate donors at an alarming rate.
The Alderman has raised a little over $115, 000.00 in the last 9 months. On July 25, 2014, the Alderman raised $4,500.00 in one day. To show how out of touch the Alderman is, most Rogers Parkers don't make $4,500 in one month.
Alderman Moore has spent over $103,000.00 campaigning for the 49th Ward Aldermanic position in that same 9 month period.
When's the last time you spent $103,000.00 dollars in just 9 months?
In 2007 the Alderman spent nearly $1 million dollars to retain his seat in city council. 2015 may top the million dollar mark.

Based on the fact that your existence Joe lake is only on the internet, obviously you have nothing to compare it too... the rest of us know it as reality - just in case you haven't heard of that while floating around in cyberspace.
That's your best shot, stupid? Joe Lake
Can someone post the text of Joe Moore's Tribune piece on reform? I'm surprised it didn't come in one of his email blasts.
