00:00:58.320 --> 00:00:59.720
ī

2
00:00:59.720 --> 00:01:00.580
Thank you.

3
00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:05.280
Applause

4
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.960
No, I asked yesterday,

5
00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:14.420
I was thinking about how to make that.

6
00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:18.160
Laughter

7
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:19.520
Four years ago,

8
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:22.720
and when he started to work for me,

9
00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:24.860
during that time,

10
00:01:26.140 --> 00:01:27.780
and about three days ago,

11
00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:28.840
he kept doing more.

12
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:33.860
Applause

13
00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:45.040
And on to mine.

14
00:01:45.820 --> 00:01:46.620
And on to hers.

15
00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:50.600


16
00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:52.280
I heard a lot of him in the last one.

17
00:02:05.820 --> 00:02:07.220
Applause

18
00:02:10.580 --> 00:02:11.220
Applause

19
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:19.480
Applause

20
00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:28.120
Applause

21
00:02:56.700 --> 00:02:58.100
Applause

22
00:03:10.660 --> 00:03:11.180
Applause

23
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:14.140
The next question says,

24
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:15.220
Mayor Byrne,

25
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.120
why must you put your name on all civic events,

26
00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:21.100
such as the Tribal Fest, Venetian Night, etc.?

27
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:24.600
Laughter

28
00:03:36.100 --> 00:03:37.340
The next question reads,

29
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:38.860
what plans, if any,

30
00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:43.720
have been made for an emergency housing shelter in the Lakeview area?

31
00:03:45.420 --> 00:03:46.540
To the first question,

32
00:03:47.140 --> 00:03:48.400
the second question I don't have to answer,

33
00:03:48.500 --> 00:03:50.180
because he was smarter and he didn't take it.

34
00:03:50.180 --> 00:03:51.300
But anyway,

35
00:03:52.320 --> 00:03:53.380
in answer to the first question,

36
00:03:53.420 --> 00:03:56.160
because there has been a lot stated about the Hay Report,

37
00:03:56.780 --> 00:03:58.640
and the reasons that the city,

38
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.880
we release at least 100 to 150 reports,

39
00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:05.080
and we release all reports,

40
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.260
excepting for this one particular report.

41
00:04:08.020 --> 00:04:08.900
This report,

42
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:13.200
and it's in keeping with the City Council and the City Ordinances of the City of Chicago,

43
00:04:14.440 --> 00:04:16.660
the Hay Report deals with personnel,

44
00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:21.060
and personnel files have always been deemed to be confidential.

45
00:04:22.180 --> 00:04:26.580
There are things in there in the report that deal strictly with personnel.

46
00:04:27.760 --> 00:04:31.400
The Hay Executive Group released an executive summary,

47
00:04:32.140 --> 00:04:36.460
which every Alderman was given a copy of and was filed in the Municipal Reference Library.

48
00:04:37.080 --> 00:04:43.520
But when it comes to dealing with the confidentiality of interviews in a personnel background,

49
00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:48.400
it is no different than if you wanted to go in and read about somebody at Marshall Fields

50
00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:50.460
or any particular corporation,

51
00:04:50.820 --> 00:04:53.380
and that is the right that we have been defending.

52
00:04:53.780 --> 00:04:56.940
It has nothing to do with the official results of the Hay Report.

53
00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:00.420
That was released by Hay and Associates in executive summary,

54
00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:03.840
that the confidentiality of a person's personnel record,

55
00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:05.980
we feel, belongs to the person.

56
00:05:05.980 --> 00:05:06.360
Thank you.

57
00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:15.980
If you are re-elected...

58
00:05:39.140 --> 00:05:39.740
...

59
00:05:40.980 --> 00:05:43.000
We appreciate your support.

60
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:47.160
Without your support and help, this organization and myself,

61
00:05:47.940 --> 00:05:49.600
it would be a long way from home.

62
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.980
You're someone who is forever and ever in the State of Chicago,

63
00:05:55.220 --> 00:05:57.980
the Mayor of Chicago, and the next Mayor of Chicago...

64
00:05:57.980 --> 00:06:02.560
...the dedication that both Denise and Eddie show towards their sons.

65
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.420
And I think that's really what it's all about today.

66
00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:09.100
I'd also like to say that I saw many elected officials in the crowd.

67
00:06:09.500 --> 00:06:11.540
I don't want to start banging on...

68
00:06:11.540 --> 00:06:12.500
...in this room.

69
00:06:13.320 --> 00:06:14.620
And they helped this Mayor.

70
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:17.560
And he was really active...

71
00:06:18.060 --> 00:06:19.860
...Mr. Ruffo...

72
00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:26.460
...and the sacred Grammar School majorettes.

73
00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:28.200
Look at these pretty little girls.

74
00:06:28.940 --> 00:06:32.480
Thanks to the parents of these little girls too.

75
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:33.140
Right?

76
00:06:58.200 --> 00:06:58.200


77
00:07:28.200 --> 00:07:29.100
Thank you.

78
00:07:33.100 --> 00:07:35.920
Will the same level of police support be maintained

79
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.780
at least through the summer when the problem is most severe?

80
00:07:50.020 --> 00:07:53.160
Mayor Bernie, you now have five minutes for closing comments.

81
00:07:55.260 --> 00:07:56.360
Mayor James Turner.

82
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:00.200
Thank you very much.

83
00:08:00.380 --> 00:08:01.580
My name is Cecil.

84
00:08:01.940 --> 00:08:03.300
I want to say good evening.

85
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:08.500
...in his long, long career in serving the public of the city of Chicago,

86
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:10.280
whether it was in the legislature,

87
00:08:10.820 --> 00:08:12.540
whether it was president of the Senate,

88
00:08:13.060 --> 00:08:16.480
whether it was when we served together on the Democratic National Committee.

89
00:08:17.180 --> 00:08:22.720
Cecil has always done an outstanding job in bringing the views and the concerns

90
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.940
and the cares of the community that he served to the forefront

91
00:08:26.940 --> 00:08:30.440
and worked hard whether it was in the legislature or the Senate.

92
00:08:58.800 --> 00:08:59.320
...around.

93
00:08:59.540 --> 00:09:01.460
Look at the place where Chicago blitzed.

94
00:09:05.620 --> 00:09:23.580
I've never fattened my purse by even that much.

95
00:09:24.540 --> 00:09:25.820
Christmas is one of these.

96
00:09:25.820 --> 00:09:26.040
It's not a simple time.

97
00:09:26.780 --> 00:09:29.420
I've always looked on Christmas as a good time,

98
00:09:30.380 --> 00:09:32.960
a kind, charitable, forgiving, pleasant time.

99
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.520
It's the only time when people open their hearts freely,

100
00:09:37.020 --> 00:09:40.540
the only time when men and women seem to realize that all human beings

101
00:09:40.540 --> 00:09:42.320
are rarely members of the same family.

102
00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:44.540
And the being members of the same family,

103
00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:47.940
they owe each other some measure of warmth and solace.

104
00:09:55.820 --> 00:09:58.820
...all our students...

105
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:02.280
How are you?

106
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.500
I have a feeling that the hamstring will often pretend right,

107
00:10:06.740 --> 00:10:08.200
but the thing is...

108
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.760
I thought my candidate, you mean Mayor Byrne?

109
00:10:24.920 --> 00:10:26.000
I thought she did very well.

110
00:10:26.300 --> 00:10:26.460
Who won?

111
00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:26.820
Everybody.

112
00:10:26.820 --> 00:10:27.980
That was the only one.

113
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:29.100
You think she beat everybody?

114
00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:31.820
I think that...

115
00:10:32.980 --> 00:10:33.560
What do you think?

116
00:10:33.700 --> 00:10:34.960
You're asking what my opinion is?

117
00:10:35.740 --> 00:10:38.860
Well, my opinion is that there were two winners today.

118
00:10:47.340 --> 00:10:49.780
Well, I think the candidate that made the statement

119
00:10:49.780 --> 00:10:51.920
has hired a political consultant from where?

120
00:10:51.920 --> 00:10:52.920
New Orleans or something?

121
00:10:53.400 --> 00:10:56.020
And I don't think that has anything to do with what we were here about tonight.

122
00:10:56.020 --> 00:10:59.440
We were here tonight to discuss jobs and the future of the city of Chicago.

123
00:10:59.620 --> 00:11:02.980
Did you, in fact, at the last debate actually see Mr. Sawyer?

124
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:04.280
Was he at the last debate?

125
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.320
Did you ask him whether or not he was...

126
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:07.220
You stuck to the script?

127
00:11:07.380 --> 00:11:10.220
No, and I wouldn't bother to even respond to that tonight.

128
00:11:10.340 --> 00:11:12.120
What we're talking about is economic development,

129
00:11:12.280 --> 00:11:15.820
the future of Chicago, jobs for the city of Chicago, and a 10-year plan.

130
00:11:16.140 --> 00:11:19.680
Mayor, how do you think you fared in this debate?

131
00:11:19.820 --> 00:11:23.480
Are you satisfied with the personal attacks that were levelled tonight

132
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:25.060
by State Attorney Richard Daly?

133
00:11:25.060 --> 00:11:29.600
The purpose of this debate was to come about with your program on jobs,

134
00:11:29.620 --> 00:11:32.060
and I don't think personal attacks provide...

135
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.260
I know that there are long records, Cecil's and Ed's,

136
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.440
the hour tonight of public service, not only in Chicago,

137
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:12.060
not only as the city treasurer...
