Rahm Emanuel Savii→

---

Well, it's been so many years[1989-2011] that Chicago has had a new face in the top-spot: Mayor. Since stepping down, and announcing that he would not run for re-election, former Mayor Richard M. Daley is now being succeeded by for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

After a very tense campaign -with Mr. Emanuel being kicked off the Ballot twice due to residency issues- Chicago finally has a new Mayor. His Tax Plan makes perfect sense, and he's been swapping out the majority of Daley's former Administration. A new Police Supt., most of City Hall being "swapped", a new Chicago Public Schools Supt, and a new CTA President. All of these changes have been made in order to better the City.

Regarding his Tax Plan, to quote Mr. Emanuel during the primary debates;

---

"A working mother should not have to pay as much for taxes on school supplies, for her children, or food for the family. A person who wants a manicure, a charter flight, a limosine, those are luxuries, and should be taxed higher. Lower taxes for basic needs, and raise taxes on luxuries."

I know it's a short Blog, but it means a lot to us Chicagoans to have a new order here. True, we're very set in our ways, but, our City needs to change in some ways, for the best.

So, Welcome to Chicago, Mayor Emanuel.
