We knew that Lori Lightfoot would be feisty. She made that clear while campaigning. But lately she has developed a habit of telling anyone who questions her to educate themselves. This would include a Crain’s Chicago Business reporter who called her West and South Side plans more show than go. Educate yourself, Madame Mayor. He said “mostly,” not “nothing” has happened when referring to the Invest South/West program.
A new food hub in Englewood is nice. Is that all the residents there need? Where are the jobs and affordable housing needed on both the South and West sides? More is needed than just McDonald’s coming downtown and a new high school in Chinatown. So if you don’t like anyone questioning you, you’re either not doing enough or in the wrong business.
