Chicago had a mayor that kept getting elected over and over. He created a patronage army, for which the city suffers from to this day. A legacy of cronyism, unprofessionalism, bloated bureaucracies, laziness, wastefulness, clout, the endless rewarding of politically connected incompetents that permeates every city department, from the police on down. When it was all over, the city had to sell its most precious assets, including metered street parking, for practically nothing to pay for the mess.
Today the city has an election for a new mayor. Will the legacy continue?
