  • Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley goes off on a rant against certain city council members who are not voting the way he wants them to. The vote is a for real estate tax increase to fund Chicago's chronically underfunded CTA Mass Transit System (the El). But who cares what it's for - this is some good TV. Democracy at work with Da Mayor! Note the laughing in the background.

    Richard Daley gets things done. As long as he keeps working to keep this city progressing, i don't care what he does. The point is he has kept Chicago on par with the best cities in the world and he's making sure it stays that way!

    2:13 The not-so-subtle threat: If they don’t vote for the tax increase to fund the Chicago Transit Authority - he’ll make sure service gets cut in their wards first.

      @anthonymurphy818 3 роки тому +3

      He actually didn't say that. The point he was making is that if the budget doesn't pass, there would be immediate cuts to public transportation across the city. For the alderman that held out (like Fioretti), public transportation is key. Daley admits that its easier to vote "no", but they were sent there to make the hard decisions. By the way, the budget passed.

      @@anthonymurphy818 It was a dog whistle and Daley knew it. If Daley wanted to make a broad policy point, he’d say “We’ll be over capacity and it will suck for everybody.” He would frame his rhetoric as having city-wide consequences. Instead, he chose to say “When the people are not picked up in YOUR ward, YOU’LL be calling Streets and San[itation] for the trucks” to hammer in the political peril facing alderpersons who vote “no.” Daley having the actual (not theoretical) power to influence how CTA cuts would be implemented, combined with this and other warnings of personal peril to those who oppose CTA funding, is an implicit threat. Is the speech persuasive and rhetorically strong? Yes. But don’t pretend it isn’t brandishing the clout-collateral that it is.

      @@jontee4freemindless acceptance? The city needs to pass a budget. If they don’t, the city shuts down. Daley wants those who vote no to have the courage to face the consequences. They worked months on this budget and now alderman are suddenly saying “no”. So we are stingy on money, but give a blank check to police and fire?
      Voting for the budget sucks because there is always something you don’t like there. It was negotiated. You don’t want to vote for it? Fine, but don’t hide from the consequences

      @@Donillini of course, but are you sure you understand what this specific budget was about? This budget raised the prices of the public transit in order to pay for public transit (an unfair amount many agree), which means the poorest people in the city had to cover the cost. And Daley is very well known for bullying alderman. Yes, budgets are hard. And in those difficult decisions, sometimes they are wrong. And in the Daley era, Daley made sure the people around him were people who did not tell him he was wrong.
