River North, Old Town, Lincoln Park, Rogers Park, Lakeview and Bucktown. Over the summer, all of these areas were the site of violent crimes, including a string of 22 armed robberies in a span of 16 days. At least 515 murders occurred in Chicago before September ended! Yet Mayor Lightfoot, courting the 2024 Democrat National Convention, continues her pretense that citywide crime is somehow confined to the West and South sides. Aren’t those North Side areas still part of Chicago?

I really burst out laughing reading Mayor Lori Lightfoot is going to take a short break on the property tax hike. Why is she doing that people are wondering? Because it’s election year. Her own people were saying don’t do it, and she had to back down. She is very ignorant for doing that and yet she wants to build a new high school when half the schools in Chicago area have open classrooms. Why are you going to build another one? Come on mayor, people in Chicago are getting tired of supporting your stuff when it doesn’t make sense to do it.

How do we reward dedicated service by the code talkers? A postage stamp, that’s how. It’s most appropriate to honor these American Indian veterans. It takes some time for this process to take place, so maybe we can shoot for Memorial Day 2023
Bernadine, Palos Heights
The White Sox are a team without a leader. There is no team chemistry. They should shuffle the deck of cards they have. Nobody should be untradeable except pitcher Liam Hendrix. They are dull to watch. If you want a case of frustration, sit through nine innings. Blow up the dugout.
