1
00:00:09.340 --> 00:00:18.120
And I'm very glad that I can be with Tom Hines and with George Dunn and with all of you to

2
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:23.540
join in a well-deserved tribute to a fine public servant.

3
00:00:24.340 --> 00:00:32.720
He has been an outstanding state senator, an outstanding state's attorney, and he would

4
00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:44.940
serve the city of Chicago well as its spare. Loves Chicago as his father did, and win or lose,

5
00:00:44.940 --> 00:00:57.220
and Rich don't do neither. He is marked for an illustrious career in public service. I come here,

6
00:00:57.940 --> 00:01:08.160
like many of you, to pay my respects to Rich Daley, and is the friend, a friend of a great family.

7
00:01:08.860 --> 00:01:12.020
Thank you very much. Good luck to all of you.

8
00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:59.460
Pointing a few people in the next two or three days to work out the details.

9
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:00.740
Thank you very much.

10
00:02:00.740 --> 00:02:01.480
Thank you very much.

11
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.700
We'll now be looking at a further political story.

12
00:02:12.880 --> 00:02:16.100
His power at the county board today, but he couldn't.

13
00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:45.960
Ladies and gentlemen, are you committing to one debate or more?

14
00:02:46.460 --> 00:02:49.660
Ladies and gentlemen, this thing is entry.

15
00:02:53.580 --> 00:03:00.180
President George Dunn is here tonight. He's told these people not to let the sun go down on any day.

16
00:03:30.180 --> 00:03:33.380
Thank you very much. Thank you.

17
00:03:39.720 --> 00:03:51.240
I appreciate the support that you have given me tonight. Since the campaign has begun,

18
00:03:52.440 --> 00:03:59.520
I have met with people from all neighborhoods. I have listened to their concerns about the

19
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:09.380
city of Chicago. I come away from these meetings with a clear sense of your concerns about

20
00:04:09.380 --> 00:04:15.560
the issues facing Chicago, the issues that demand new leadership.

21
00:04:25.780 --> 00:04:32.540
When the campaign started, I expressed my eagerness to address these issues.

22
00:04:34.260 --> 00:04:40.540
I am concerned with how we can bring stability and trust to City Hall.

23
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:47.540
I am concerned with how we can bring stability and trust to City Hall.

24
00:04:47.540 --> 00:04:51.260
Our great strength is people like you here tonight.

25
00:04:52.440 --> 00:04:58.960
With you carrying the message to your friends and neighbors, with your help,

26
00:04:59.940 --> 00:05:06.900
with your dedication, and with your determination, together we are going to win this election.

27
00:05:39.700 --> 00:05:40.500
All right!

28
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:45.540
I am pleased to be in my position as State's Attorney. You have interviewed me.

29
00:06:45.740 --> 00:06:47.060
The press has interviewed me.

30
00:07:17.080 --> 00:07:18.800
The Honorable George Doug.

31
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:30.920
Thank you. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for the wonderful reception and thank you, Tom.

32
00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:40.160
Reverend Fathers, Henry Stevenson, distinguished public officials, Rich Daly and his wife,

33
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:45.440
ladies and family, and friends of Rich Daly.

34
00:07:48.860 --> 00:08:00.960
I think that perhaps subconsciously we are also interested in the good and welfare of the city of Chicago.

35
00:08:02.440 --> 00:08:11.080
I don't have to tell this sophisticated audience what has happened in the last three and a half years to the city of Chicago.

36
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:17.020
And I will just ask you to do one thing as you leave here tonight.

37
00:08:18.540 --> 00:08:27.180
Firmly resolve that the sun will never go down on any day between now and February the 22nd

38
00:08:27.180 --> 00:08:36.040
without you having done something for the candidacy of Rich Daly and for the good and the welfare of the city of Chicago,

39
00:08:36.380 --> 00:08:38.180
which we all love very much.

40
00:08:38.620 --> 00:08:39.660
Thank you very, very much.

41
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:52.400
In 1979, why did the mayor increase consultant contracts to over $40 million in 1983?

42
00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:55.380
What is happening to this administration?

43
00:08:56.700 --> 00:08:57.760
$40 million.

44
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:00.620
And we can talk about each consultant contract.

45
00:09:00.820 --> 00:09:02.220
I call it a waste of money.

46
00:09:02.680 --> 00:09:07.940
$700,000 to tell us Chicago's number one problem is unemployment.

47
00:09:09.140 --> 00:09:12.080
When they got through the line, there's no criteria.

48
00:09:12.920 --> 00:09:14.340
Who is going to get the jobs?

49
00:09:15.140 --> 00:09:17.300
There is no input from the business community.

50
00:09:17.640 --> 00:09:18.840
There was no plan.

51
00:09:19.460 --> 00:09:20.660
It was a public relation.

52
00:09:20.740 --> 00:09:22.420
It was a political stunt.

53
00:09:22.420 --> 00:09:25.920
Just seven weeks before the election and three weeks after.

54
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:27.740
Who is going to get the jobs?

55
00:09:28.020 --> 00:09:29.120
What are they going to do?

56
00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:31.700
Was the business community involved?

57
00:09:32.540 --> 00:09:37.100
People stood in line for days and they found out number one is not number one.

58
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:38.940
Is there a lottery system?

59
00:09:39.400 --> 00:09:40.760
How are they going to select it?

60
00:09:40.860 --> 00:09:42.100
That is a human tragedy.

61
00:10:16.300 --> 00:10:17.780
Hey, John, how are you?

62
00:10:17.900 --> 00:10:18.300
I'm good.

63
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:20.700
I'm going to see you there.

64
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:21.980
I'll get a haircut.

65
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:22.400
I'll get a haircut.

66
00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:22.400


67
00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:22.400


68
00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:22.400


69
00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:22.400


70
00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:22.400


71
00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:22.400


72
00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:22.400


73
00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:22.400


74
00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:22.400


75
00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:23.060
I'm going to see you there.

76
00:10:43.420 --> 00:10:46.220
Yeah, okay.

77
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:47.840
You good now?

78
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:49.200
It's 48 boards.

79
00:10:49.300 --> 00:10:50.560
It's 46 boards.

80
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:22.220
We have the competent and professional people administering for the city.

81
00:11:22.540 --> 00:11:23.800
You must fail.

82
00:11:37.260 --> 00:11:39.600
I'll go Richard M. Davis.

83
00:11:45.260 --> 00:11:47.000
Thank you very much, Andy.

84
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:54.860
For instance, Dave Nouran-Bellini, who is an outstanding alderman of the 48th board and one who brings the finest leadership.

85
00:11:55.520 --> 00:11:56.580
It's time for leadership.

86
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:58.120
What type of leadership?

87
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:03.740
And what, if people ask me is, are you negative about this present administration?

88
00:12:03.860 --> 00:12:08.620
No, you have to look at this administration and the lack of a record.

89
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:12.040
When I say lack of a record, what are their priorities?

90
00:12:12.040 --> 00:12:14.440
Police, police superintendents.

91
00:12:14.920 --> 00:12:15.920
I mean, there is chaos.

92
00:12:16.300 --> 00:12:18.940
No one has any professionalism in the city.

93
00:12:20.780 --> 00:12:22.160
I know.

94
00:12:51.280 --> 00:12:53.540
They don't have that much money.

95
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.520
And they are competing with their TV advertising.

96
00:12:57.460 --> 00:13:01.860
They're above what Budweiser televises on TV.

97
00:13:02.020 --> 00:13:06.300
All their commercials, they're the best advertiser on TV.

98
00:13:06.400 --> 00:13:08.280
The mayor is twice ahead of that.

99
00:13:08.280 --> 00:13:12.780
They're spending over a million dollars as of today just on TV and production.

100
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:17.420
In other words, I believe they're trying to buy this election with TV gimmicks.

101
00:13:17.680 --> 00:13:19.600
But the commercials, are they telling the truth?

102
00:13:19.920 --> 00:13:22.220
Are they saying there is a financial crisis in this city?

103
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:27.920
In the month of November, December, they are paying people salaries out of pension funds.

104
00:13:28.920 --> 00:13:31.640
Are they talking about a financial crisis that we see in this city?

105
00:13:33.800 --> 00:13:36.960
I'm asking the people to react in support of my candidacy.

106
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:38.260
I appreciate all the support.

107
00:13:38.260 --> 00:13:44.760
I appreciate Senator Netsch, the chairperson of my campaign.

108
00:13:44.760 --> 00:13:44.900
I'm sorry.

109
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:06.940
Money that is wasted.

110
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:10.300
We see an administration that doesn't have the plans.

111
00:14:10.680 --> 00:14:13.720
When I talk about doesn't have the plans, they announce a job program.

112
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:20.940
They realize that jobs or unemployment was not important in 1979, in 1980, 81 or 82.

113
00:14:21.340 --> 00:14:23.220
Only eight weeks before the election.

114
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:25.100
Jobs are a priority.

115
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:28.940
So he announced we're going to have jobs and they said come to the parks.

116
00:14:29.420 --> 00:14:34.480
20,000 people, economic development or jobs or education or health.

117
00:14:35.340 --> 00:14:36.300
That's what he's been doing.

118
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:40.400
He's not picked up the leadership role dealing with the loss of manufacturing jobs

119
00:14:40.400 --> 00:14:43.380
or the steel jobs or the automobile industry.

120
00:14:43.820 --> 00:14:49.000
Why are we paying somebody on a city payroll to tell us what's going on in Washington?

121
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.060
We elect congressmen down there.

122
00:14:51.400 --> 00:14:53.740
You can call a congressman, they have a staff.

123
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.380
You have to have an energy conservation program right from the mayor's office.

124
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:04.040
Not one of these weekend blitzes to hand weatherization kits out and say here go home and try to figure them out.

125
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:09.960
You have to have people that are capable to sit down with community people and work with community people.

126
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:12.060
And to me that's what we're talking about.

127
00:15:12.180 --> 00:15:14.000
We talk about consultant contracts.

128
00:15:14.620 --> 00:15:21.960
In 1960s when New York went through their financial crisis, they formed an urban management corporation.

129
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:25.200
Because they didn't have any money to pay consultants.

130
00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:34.560
In the Thompson debate for six months after the election we found out that this state is now in a financial crisis.

131
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:38.460
Why wasn't it mentioned in September or October?

132
00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:44.160
When someone has financial problems it isn't one month or two weeks after an election.

133
00:15:44.560 --> 00:15:46.040
It's slowly moving up.

134
00:15:46.280 --> 00:15:47.380
And this is what's happening.

135
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:51.160
This administration has lacked human priorities.

136
00:15:51.660 --> 00:15:53.780
It's concerned about consultant contracts.

137
00:15:54.220 --> 00:16:00.240
It was concerned about giving Brady and Griffin, they called it peanuts, $90,000 of consultant contracts

138
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.200
to reorganize a public relations department of the Board of Health.

139
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:09.400
And when the city administration has increased their own public relations department by 50 percent.

140
00:16:10.680 --> 00:16:15.880
And we have seen this administration talk about Springfield, talk about Washington,

141
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:21.800
not having a good working relationship with legislators, whether Democrats, Republicans or Independents.

142
00:16:22.900 --> 00:16:31.080
One of the things that he said over and over when he started talking to me about serving as chairperson of the campaign

143
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:36.140
was that whoever is mayor of the city of Chicago in the next four years

144
00:16:36.140 --> 00:16:41.620
is going to have to find a way to involve all the people of this city

145
00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:45.840
in the city's strengths as well as its problems.

146
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:49.400
And if that does not happen, nothing will work.

147
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.420
If it does happen, things can work.

148
00:16:52.780 --> 00:16:56.660
That, I think, is probably the single most important commitment

149
00:16:56.660 --> 00:17:01.060
that Rich Daly has made to all of us and to all of the people in this city.

150
00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:05.180
And that is that everyone will have a chance to be involved.

151
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.520
Let's see that he gets that chance to get us all involved.

152
00:18:18.780 --> 00:18:21.000
Thank you.

153
00:18:48.740 --> 00:18:50.940
Thank you.

154
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.020
Thank you.

155
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:50.900
Thank you.

156
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.180
Thank you.

157
00:20:48.760 --> 00:20:51.320
Thank you.

158
00:21:18.780 --> 00:21:21.100
Thank you.

159
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:51.060
Thank you.

160
00:22:18.760 --> 00:22:21.040
Thank you.

161
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:40.260
Chicago and the people of Chicago united with Richard M. Daly to be the next mayor of Chicago.

162
00:22:41.180 --> 00:22:43.540
Chicago! Love Daly!

163
00:22:44.060 --> 00:22:52.860
Daly love Chicago and the people of Chicago united with Richard M. Daly to be the next mayor of Chicago.

164
00:22:53.260 --> 00:22:55.280
Chicago! Love Daly!

165
00:23:23.380 --> 00:23:24.780
Chicago!

166
00:23:24.780 --> 00:23:26.040
Chicago! Love Daly!

167
00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:43.160
Daly love Chicago and the people of Chicago united with Richard M. Daly to be the next mayor of Chicago.

168
00:23:55.140 --> 00:23:56.780
We work here in Chicago.

169
00:23:57.140 --> 00:23:58.980
We're visiting Chicago every day.

170
00:23:59.220 --> 00:24:01.700
Those ads should be placed in another part of the country.

171
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:05.200
What we see is just a public relations stunt.

172
00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:06.900
Everybody enjoys parties.

173
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:09.620
We see a million dollar fireworks display.

174
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:13.220
We see lighting the bridges at $800,000.

175
00:24:13.900 --> 00:24:14.920
The Chicago bridges.

176
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:17.100
And I don't care, we are not Paris.

177
00:24:17.520 --> 00:24:21.800
The mayor thinks we're Paris and our bridges are just like the bridges in Paris.

178
00:24:21.800 --> 00:24:25.020
And we better get some good photographs and look at the two.

179
00:24:25.300 --> 00:24:27.520
These bridges in Chicago are working bridges.

180
00:24:27.780 --> 00:24:29.220
That's all they stand for.

181
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:33.460
You can look at their architecture and that's what they're designed for.

182
00:24:33.620 --> 00:24:36.820
But to light them up, who's paying the utility taxes?

183
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:40.380
Paying people more money in city government.

184
00:24:40.940 --> 00:24:47.880
Why are we asking 390 people at a cost of $20 million if we don't give them a pay raise to stay with city government?

185
00:24:48.320 --> 00:24:51.260
I'd ask any of them to put their resumes on the street.

186
00:24:51.260 --> 00:24:57.340
And ask them to find a job as compared to what they were paying two or three years ago.

187
00:24:57.560 --> 00:25:03.560
We look at what the mayor has done.

188
00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:08.140
He's got a script and planned it well in order to buy elections for $10 million.

189
00:25:08.940 --> 00:25:14.020
What I ask you to do from today on is to talk to your friends and neighbors throughout this city.

190
00:25:14.180 --> 00:25:17.700
Ask them to volunteer and make a difference in my candidacy.

191
00:25:17.700 --> 00:25:24.200
Because as Chicago Tribune pointed out, they not only endorse myself, but they endorse the people that supported me.

192
00:25:24.380 --> 00:25:31.280
My record as state's attorney, my record as state senator, and my commitment, yes, my commitment to have human priorities.

193
00:26:15.820 --> 00:26:17.480
Thank you.

194
00:26:17.700 --> 00:26:17.700


195
00:26:39.980 --> 00:26:41.440
A weatherization kit.

196
00:26:42.020 --> 00:26:44.500
Now, people's gas gave them out just three weeks ago.

197
00:26:44.500 --> 00:26:50.120
And they were so big, how can anybody fix their homes in the middle of winter and talk about energy saving?

198
00:26:50.540 --> 00:26:52.680
You have to run the program during the summer.

199
00:26:54.100 --> 00:27:02.600
And the people in Little Village, the people in Lawndale or South Shore, Garfield or Uptown, Humboldt Park, Rogers Park, all over the city know what's happening.

200
00:27:02.700 --> 00:27:05.140
You call 911, car unavailable.

201
00:27:05.820 --> 00:27:08.420
You hold on a line for a couple of minutes, still not available.

202
00:27:08.420 --> 00:27:09.580
It's not the city.

203
00:27:11.080 --> 00:27:14.400
The key is people around the candidate.

204
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:17.100
The candidate willing to listen to people.

205
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:24.220
Bring experts in regards to problems all over the city and not have every answer that everybody wants.

206
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:26.800
Because what it is is leadership.

207
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:34.260
And my leadership in the Senate, I don't have awards, I don't have everything falling off my walls.

208
00:27:35.140 --> 00:27:39.940
It's just legislation that was passed when we talk about mental health reform.

209
00:27:40.380 --> 00:27:44.460
We talk about the mentally ill and the mentally retarded and the physically handicapped.

210
00:27:51.460 --> 00:27:53.540
...common an audit, the procedure.

211
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:56.660
It isn't the fault of the Chicago police officer on the streets.

212
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:03.100
As I pointed out, there are less police officers, about 350 less since 1979 under this administration.

213
00:28:03.100 --> 00:28:04.820
They must have more police officers.

214
00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:08.400
But whether it's the International Police Association or some other group,

215
00:28:08.900 --> 00:28:17.820
should, I believe, review the audit control in the crime statistics report in the city of Chicago, which is a problem that exists.
