The only way the cab drivers are going to get a raise, if we get Mayor Daley out of office, and the new mayor who will hire a new commissioner.
The way to get Mayor Daley out of office, is do the same thing he did to Jane Byne back in 1983. SPLIT THE VOTES! What hurt Dorothy Brown in the last mayoral election, was two other black candidates spliting her votes coming from the black voters, that helped Mayor Daley get the majority of the white votes to win.
Anybody could get Mayor Daley out of office, if people would only stop voting for that son of a ****** People in Chicago don't know how to vote. People in Chicago vote out of stupidity instead of voting their conscience. I heard people say; they don't like Mayor Daley, but they know he's going to win, so they vote for him to make their vote count. So stupid for them to say that. If Mayor Daley's going to win, let him win on someone elses vote, NOT MINE! I'll vote for Louis Farrakhan before I vote for Daley.
Face the facts here. Daley is going to be mayor until one of three things happen. 1) He goes to jail like Betty Loren Maltese and lives it up in the California sun. 2) He retires under pressure from the Gov. 3) He has a coronary episode and crokes like his father and Harold Washington. Washington wasn't a bad guy for cab drivers and helped make things better. Unfortunately the next generation after him started putting the screws to us. They won't stop tightening until we really fight back. We would really just be throwing a days earnings away with a strike. I agree with the lawsuit and making news headlines about our plight. The more negs for the Daley administration the better. We WILL get a RAISE with the right PRESSURE.
Now for the crazy thoughts. Daley Sr. and Harold died from heart attacks while at City Hall? Correct? If so does anyone else think there might have been foul play? I wish if there was that it was saved for Ritchie Rich the second. Harold was a good brother to me and I ended up getting my city medallion from the lottery that was created under his administration. Now the King SELLS medallions!
