Every ten years we recut the political pie.

1/17/2012

My last meeting today at city hall was another public hearing on the ward remap.

These maps show how the current alderman, elected in 2011, want to cut up the pie known as Chicago in order to be reelected in 2015.

The maps vary a little bit. They all still get to take race into account even though we are supposedly in a post-racial era.

Alderman Mell, Chairman of the Ethics and Rules Committee of the City Council and father-in-law of the twice-convicted, recently sentenced, impeached governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, wants to get this done in a hurry. Why the rush? Maybe to make sure there is time for the lawsuits to be fully adjudicated before the next aldermanic elections in 2015.
