From fighting crime and evaluating the red light cameras to bringing more jobs to Chicago and pushing for a Chicago casino to possibly generate revenue to help fix the city’s pension crisis, there is no shortage of issues facing Mayor Emanuel in his second term.
The morning after winning the runoff election, Emanuel was already making the rounds, greeting and thanking Chicagoans at the CTA train stops and hearing from commuters. We asked our social media followers to sound off on what they would tell Emanuel if they had the chance.
OK @RahmEmanuel's got a second term.
If you had the chance to chat, what would you tell him?
Let us know with #heyrahm.
