Klink letter: Clearing streets

Not long ago, we, as a community, were asked for $180 million for a new community college expansion. Lately I, and probably countless others, spent time shoveling out our walks, driveways and part of the street so we could get in/out of our driveway. Couldn’t help but ask myself, how could our community leaders sponsor a $180 million community college expansion when they can’t keep the city streets open? Anybody remember Chicago’s Mayor Byrne and what the voters did when she couldn’t keep city streets open?
