Boisterous crowd greets Mayor Emanuel at town hall meeting

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Mayor Rahm Emanuel faced a boisterous and sometimes angry crowd Monday night during the first of two “Town Hall” meetings to discuss ways to plug the city’s $635 million 2012 budget shortfall.

“The moment of reckoning is here,” Emanuel said, as he encouraged an “honest” conversation before a packed house at Kennedy-King College on the South Side.
