Chicago Grounds to a Halt: Government Bureaucrats Have Nothing to Do All Day

The Chicago Sun-Times reports on a warning from Chicago's Alderman Burke. Government workers with nothing to do:

"You have to look at how many applications there are for permits, for zoning, for planned unit developments. There's nothing going on. There's three cranes in the whole city. We have a whole bureaucracy there that is just kept in place with nothing to do," Burke said Thursday.

Yet, Barack Obama wants to keep government employment up.
