Chicago Alderman to Obama: Where's the Money?

The Chicago Tribune reports:

After the appropriate nod to the history made by Barack Obama's presidential election, Chicago aldermen quickly got to the bottom-line, City Hall style: What's in it for us?

Asked what she expected an Obama presidency to mean to her West Side ward, Ald. Emma Mitts (37th) replied, “One word: money. You’re supposed to take care of home first, aren’t you?”

Mitts said the city needs infrastructure dollars to “bring us up to modern times.”

That's the Chicago Way,whether you like or not.In post-partisan Chicago,where everyone is forced to be a Democrat "change you can believe in" must be a David Axelrod practical joke on the nation.
