00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.000


2
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:29.960
U.S.

3
00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:31.600
Alright!

4
00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:35.980
Oh yeah, me, I'm...

5
00:00:35.980 --> 00:00:44.240
This microphone right here says Michael Mcmahon, the son of Jim Mcmahon. It's so great!

6
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:46.420
Hey there!

7
00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:48.260
Hello!

8
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:51.040
There's some...

9
00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:52.700
Um, Annie and, um...

10
00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:53.980
I can't get...

11
00:00:53.980 --> 00:00:54.360
Oh no!

12
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:54.920
Let's hold it.

13
00:01:00.100 --> 00:01:02.820
I'm gonna take a picture of you, you can whip it a mile.

14
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:04.800
Oh, head off!

15
00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:25.460
Oh, Jim!

16
00:01:27.020 --> 00:01:27.480
Oh, Jim!

17
00:01:28.460 --> 00:01:30.540
Oh, Jim!

18
00:01:31.240 --> 00:01:33.860
Yeah, this is a totally non-critical day.

19
00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:37.800
Anyway, I'm glad you're all here and I have extra buttons for any of you that would like them.

20
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:39.020
Say Heinz-Romero on them.

21
00:01:40.380 --> 00:01:43.100
Hi, this is my name. No one backs out.

22
00:01:44.540 --> 00:01:45.580
Thank you.

23
00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:48.020
Alright!

24
00:01:48.800 --> 00:01:49.320
Alright.

25
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.160
If you can just give me the rundown of how the resignation...

26
00:01:54.160 --> 00:01:55.320
The mayor this morning...

27
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:57.140
That's probably what I told him.

28
00:01:57.500 --> 00:02:03.560
The mayor this morning accepted the resignation of Renal Robinson as chairman of the CHA board.

29
00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:11.900
Renal said in his resignation letter that he felt the interests of the CHA would be better served if he were to remove himself as a personal issue.

30
00:02:12.660 --> 00:02:15.480
And the controversy that's going around him, Renal Robinson,

31
00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:22.100
at a time when there are so many pressing issues of life and quality of life and safety and health,

32
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.460
preparing for winter, dealing with the budget problems that the CHA has,

33
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:34.140
if Renal Robinson personally becomes an issue, gets in the way of that,

34
00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:39.140
handling those problems, then he, Renal, should remove himself.

35
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:43.760
He said that last week and this morning the resignation was accepted.

36
00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:45.820
Did the mayor...

37
00:02:45.820 --> 00:02:53.900
Blame Mayor Washington for installing, advancing, perpetuating the reign of Renal Robinson.

38
00:02:54.800 --> 00:03:03.200
Well, the, as I say, the record of CHA over the past four years is,

39
00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:10.300
needs to be compared to the shambles in which the CHA was left when the previous mayor left the office.

40
00:03:11.740 --> 00:03:22.760
Every time you talk about a tenant revolt, it sounds as if you're suggesting that the mayor ought to be paying a high political price among folks who you think would support him overwhelmingly.

41
00:03:22.880 --> 00:03:26.780
Are you suggesting that you feel he's squandered a lot of political capital there?

42
00:03:27.020 --> 00:03:38.560
I'm suggesting that a high human price is being paid here, that people have been put through discomfort and suffering and a lot of problems that were unnecessary if there had been professional management in place.

43
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:47.500
I don't like anything that I've seen about this agency and it seems to me that we're still only seeing the tip of the iceberg because every day there's a new disclosure.

44
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:53.200
Tommy, is it safe to assume, is it safe to assume that the only, that you see the only real solution is the new mayor?

45
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:55.480
Well, that would certainly help.

46
00:03:55.480 --> 00:04:08.540
But I think beyond that, beyond that, we've got now to move quickly, to put a professional administrator in place who will bring this agency into some kind of order,

47
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:14.400
who will take a look at the problems that exist and who will put together a plan to do something about it.

48
00:04:14.580 --> 00:04:15.460
Isn't it always in this way?

49
00:04:15.460 --> 00:04:16.400
Is Brenda Gaines not that person?

50
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:17.060
No, adequate.

51
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.740
Brenda Gaines is only in there as a temporary appointee.

52
00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:35.620
No question about it though, the Mayor of Washington and his administration have had the opportunity over the past three and a half years to do the kind of job that they said they were going to do, but they totally failed to do it.

53
00:04:35.860 --> 00:04:37.100
You know the mayor's answer to this.

54
00:04:37.320 --> 00:04:39.860
Was it just as bad then in the Brown administration?

55
00:04:39.860 --> 00:04:50.360
This, the Chicago Housing Authority has not been, I have said, I said then and I'm saying now that it was not and it is not properly run.

56
00:04:50.860 --> 00:04:56.580
I believe that it cannot be tolerated, this management of this agency cannot be tolerated.

57
00:04:56.900 --> 00:04:58.220
Changes have to be made.

58
00:05:15.700 --> 00:05:18.500
Thank you.

59
00:05:26.700 --> 00:05:29.500
Thank you.

60
00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:30.520
Are you ready for the luncheon?

61
00:05:30.860 --> 00:05:32.560
Yes, are you ready for the luncheon?

62
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:34.000
You are ready for that.

63
00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:49.900
This is the recipe.

64
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:59.060
The recipe that the SXU is 2000 years old.

65
00:05:59.060 --> 00:06:02.600
The people are coming in to buy stuff.

66
00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:03.840


67
00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:05.460
This machine is the one that Washington.

68
00:06:48.220 --> 00:06:52.700
This campaign is about the future of the city of Chicago.

69
00:06:53.080 --> 00:06:58.980
I was called by a reporter and asked a question and I responded to that question.

70
00:06:59.120 --> 00:06:59.500
When?

71
00:07:00.020 --> 00:07:00.520
Yesterday.

72
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:01.120


73
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:05.360
You also said that this enhanced his campaign or so you believe.

74
00:07:30.820 --> 00:07:35.940
Well, one of those paths that we're talking about is the business as usual path.

75
00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:42.320
The path to continue the past practices in the city of Chicago that will lead us to financial rule.

76
00:07:42.580 --> 00:07:46.880
It will lead us down that road that path that completely took the New York City.

77
00:07:46.880 --> 00:07:50.920
The other path that we have is the Brighton Road.

78
00:07:52.840 --> 00:07:57.480
The staff, which I'm addressing myself today, is a 10-point layout.

79
00:08:00.380 --> 00:08:03.100
The atmosphere wouldn't it be?

80
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:36.380
It would be nice enough getting a shot of me opening this up.

81
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:43.880
Then we'll invite all the press in and I'll show you the quarter way passageway leading to the city hall.

82
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:45.480
What the state of Illinois has completed.

83
00:08:46.760 --> 00:08:50.640
Where we're blocked right at the foundation of city hall.

84
00:08:51.060 --> 00:08:52.600
And we'll hold the press conference in there.

85
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.960
I would appreciate it if we at least have a shot here.

86
00:08:56.340 --> 00:08:57.260
Keep out saying.

87
00:08:58.680 --> 00:09:00.260
Open the fan lock and let's see what's in.

88
00:09:12.160 --> 00:09:12.960
Okay, Sesame.

89
00:09:15.160 --> 00:09:17.100
Come on in here and we'll show you what we have.

90
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:18.640
Be careful, please.

91
00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:27.600
Be careful when you are getting to the construction site.

92
00:09:43.540 --> 00:09:44.840
I just have one question on this.

93
00:09:45.100 --> 00:09:47.980
What's their problem with them matching the two tunnels?

94
00:09:48.140 --> 00:09:49.760
I mean, did they already start?

95
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:51.480
Did the city start their side of the tunnel?

96
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.440
If you go over to the city side and I don't see a thing.

97
00:09:53.620 --> 00:09:54.300
The city of Redmond.

98
00:09:54.640 --> 00:09:55.800
Yes, the department of public works.

99
00:09:56.020 --> 00:09:57.480
This is...

100
00:10:15.760 --> 00:10:19.560
Other candidates prior to February 24th, for Redmond.

101
00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:23.040
So we'll have a chance to know who the candidates are.

102
00:10:23.540 --> 00:10:26.120
As you know, the last several days, newspapers have indicated.

103
00:10:26.500 --> 00:10:28.820
There doesn't seem to be much difference between the candidates.

104
00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:30.180
And a blurring between the candidates.

105
00:10:34.900 --> 00:10:35.660
Look at the dog.

106
00:10:46.160 --> 00:10:46.840
It's alive.

107
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:47.460
Easy.

108
00:10:48.680 --> 00:10:51.800
You mean to say the GOP is being dumped on?

109
00:10:58.060 --> 00:10:59.220
Now he comes.

110
00:10:59.780 --> 00:11:01.780
Now he comes.

111
00:11:09.560 --> 00:11:10.420
That's great.

112
00:11:11.540 --> 00:11:12.760
Can you back him up?

113
00:11:13.940 --> 00:11:15.420
Get him in the middle so we can talk to him.

114
00:11:15.420 --> 00:11:17.380
I know you've all been waiting.

115
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:18.620
You gonna ride him?

116
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:19.760
Sure, I'm gonna ride him.

117
00:11:19.760 --> 00:11:20.700
Back up a little bit.

118
00:11:20.900 --> 00:11:22.120
We've all been waiting to see patients.

119
00:11:23.180 --> 00:11:24.120
You gotta get up.

120
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:25.180
He's gonna get up looking like you.

121
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:26.020
There you go.

122
00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:27.640
Give me five, Daddy.

123
00:11:35.920 --> 00:11:37.020
There we go.

124
00:11:42.140 --> 00:11:46.640
I hate to stop, but any constituency is gonna vote for me, because I'm wet.

125
00:11:46.820 --> 00:11:47.220
Steady.

126
00:11:50.020 --> 00:11:50.620
There you go.

127
00:11:50.680 --> 00:11:53.200
You're not gonna forget who betrayed him in this.

128
00:11:53.820 --> 00:11:55.780
Who brought this election down to four candidates.

129
00:11:56.620 --> 00:11:59.620
Instead of a traditional two-party system, Democrats against Republicans.

130
00:12:00.420 --> 00:12:04.420
So to repeat, the riding the elephant is not only symbolic of the Republican party,

131
00:12:04.520 --> 00:12:06.420
that you have a choice and you have an alternative.

132
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:07.000
You have a choice and you have an alternative.

133
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.500
It also tells us...

134
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:16.920
Thank you.

135
00:13:17.220 --> 00:13:18.060
Thanks very much.

136
00:13:18.260 --> 00:13:20.120
Sorry to disrupt you.

137
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:20.120


138
00:13:24.760 --> 00:13:27.220
I was hoping to practice my Spanish, but nobody wanted to speak Spanish.

139
00:13:36.100 --> 00:13:45.180
Sorry, and afterwards you will be able to ask him any questions that you want.

140
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:47.560
Including Rebecca, I think.

141
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:51.180
You ready, Rebecca?

142
00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:51.860
Okay.

143
00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:52.960
Thank you.

144
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:53.500
Thank you.

145
00:13:53.820 --> 00:13:54.860
Thank you.

146
00:13:57.920 --> 00:14:06.560
Now the book I've chosen to read to you is called, On the Day Peter Stuyvesant Sailed

147
00:14:06.560 --> 00:14:07.400
into Town.

148
00:14:08.520 --> 00:14:10.340
That is a tough name to say.

149
00:14:11.980 --> 00:14:14.740
Take these birds to a cage, Peter shouted in rage.

150
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.900
Oh, good Dutchman, let's come to our senses.

151
00:14:19.300 --> 00:14:20.160
So Peter's mad.

152
00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:22.620
He wants to clean up this place.

153
00:14:22.620 --> 00:14:24.380
So what do you think happened?

154
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:27.080
Look at this.

155
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:27.840
A fungus.

156
00:14:29.260 --> 00:14:30.540
See this?

157
00:14:31.160 --> 00:14:33.000
A streak of lightning and Peter.

158
00:14:33.700 --> 00:14:38.820
And his voice rocked the ground with a great booming sound, like a sky filled with thunder

159
00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:39.360
and lightning.

160
00:14:39.800 --> 00:14:42.040
Those good Dutchmen did shake, they cried.

161
00:14:42.400 --> 00:14:46.600
Make no mistake, this man's temper is really quite frightening.

162
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:51.040
All you men and you maids, get your brooms and your spades.

163
00:14:51.420 --> 00:14:53.620
We must work now without hesitation.

164
00:14:54.140 --> 00:14:56.140
And let's work now without hesitation.

165
00:14:57.160 --> 00:15:00.060
So they put up new buildings all sturdy and strong.

166
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:03.340
And they cleaned all the rubbish away.

167
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:10.680
They mended the fences and they paved the streets from the top of the town to the bay.

168
00:15:11.940 --> 00:15:12.820
See them all working?

169
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:14.480
To the bay and the streets.

170
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:20.120
And they filled all the holes in the walls of the fort for the colony needed protection.

171
00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:25.600
And the people agreed they were clever to heed Peter Stuyvesant's careful direction.

172
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:27.840
Some ten or twelve.

173
00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:30.720
The big one being that it was very dirty.

174
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.520
But one thing that I know, we had some children at the Sal Academy.

175
00:15:35.100 --> 00:15:36.240
One of their class projects.

176
00:15:39.580 --> 00:15:40.460
Hello, hello.

177
00:15:40.700 --> 00:15:41.300
Nice to meet you, Irene.

178
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:42.400
You too.

179
00:15:43.060 --> 00:15:44.080
Hi, I'm Mr. Novak.

180
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:44.260
You want to step in?

181
00:15:44.460 --> 00:15:46.180
Oh, sorry, John, I don't have to step in.

182
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:47.360
Hi, good to see you.

183
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:48.140
Thanks, good to hear.

184
00:15:48.640 --> 00:15:49.600
That's Toby and Kelly.

185
00:15:50.880 --> 00:15:52.320
These are his best friends.

186
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:53.680
They're my best friends.

187
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:54.340
We love them a lot.

188
00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:56.780
Well, good luck to you.

189
00:15:56.780 --> 00:15:57.120
Thank you.

190
00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:59.500
We tried to get our dogs in our picture, but couldn't get them in.

191
00:15:59.560 --> 00:16:00.420
They wouldn't stay still.

192
00:16:04.760 --> 00:16:05.780
Oh, the dog.

193
00:16:07.760 --> 00:16:08.900
Where have you seen this guy?

194
00:16:10.160 --> 00:16:11.040
The way this thing's going.

195
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:17.160
You can tell it's a Republican dog.

196
00:16:17.260 --> 00:16:18.740
Somebody said taxes and he started barking.

197
00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:21.600
The Republican dog is driving.

198
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:38.680
He did create a separate authority.

199
00:16:45.020 --> 00:16:47.260
I give you a toast tonight.

200
00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:52.240
A toast to New Chicago, the city that works together.

201
00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:19.520
From the west side to the east, from the sky onto the street,

202
00:17:20.300 --> 00:17:22.260
everyone's got heavy feet.

203
00:17:22.620 --> 00:17:27.220
From the criminal world, from the black box to the box.

204
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.000
Thank you.

205
00:17:32.020 --> 00:17:32.600
Let's dance.

206
00:17:33.560 --> 00:17:34.520
Everybody dance.

207
00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:35.960
Take care.

208
00:17:36.520 --> 00:17:37.020
Your pleasure.

209
00:17:37.800 --> 00:17:38.740
Let's do it again.

210
00:17:39.100 --> 00:17:39.800
You all right, Dave?

211
00:17:39.980 --> 00:17:40.660
Yes.

212
00:17:40.860 --> 00:17:41.220
You all right?

213
00:17:41.460 --> 00:17:41.660
Yes.

214
00:17:41.860 --> 00:17:41.860


215
00:17:41.860 --> 00:17:41.860


216
00:17:41.860 --> 00:17:42.000
You all right?

217
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:42.000


218
00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:46.280
Good luck.

219
00:17:46.280 --> 00:17:47.860
I want to have that.

220
00:18:04.780 --> 00:18:10.880
He said was that he did not believe the mildly through vote we got.

221
00:18:11.560 --> 00:18:17.720
The fact that precincts were voting 95 to 99% for Jane Byrne.

222
00:18:17.820 --> 00:18:22.060
That she came out of precincts with goose eggs and one and two and ten votes.

223
00:18:23.140 --> 00:18:26.760
So I think that is a measure of that emotion you're talking about.

224
00:18:26.900 --> 00:18:31.700
I don't think it's, you need to have folks running around the street

225
00:18:31.700 --> 00:18:36.920
with kind of this spontaneous combustion that went on in 83 to get the same kind of response.

226
00:18:37.040 --> 00:18:38.180
And that response is out there.

227
00:18:38.180 --> 00:18:45.600
I mean if you look at the precincts, precinct returns on almost any of the wards

228
00:18:45.600 --> 00:18:48.940
that you're talking about and speaking about, I think they're back there.

229
00:18:49.300 --> 00:18:52.960
You know, you can see that the support base is there.

230
00:18:53.720 --> 00:19:00.420
And I think that what we have to do for the April election is one,

231
00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:04.720
remind folks that we have another election, that the election is not over,

232
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:10.800
that it's important for people to come out and vote, that it's important for people to participate,

233
00:19:11.020 --> 00:19:16.160
and that one of the things that the mayor suffered under the last four years, we don't want to repeat.

234
00:19:16.820 --> 00:19:24.280
And I think that if we get the message out, and that comes from just business like talking to folks at the door

235
00:19:24.280 --> 00:19:28.220
and talking to them on the telephone, that if we get the vote out,

236
00:19:28.220 --> 00:19:38.580
and we in fact get a sufficient margin so that there is no question at all about the mayor's mandate

237
00:19:38.580 --> 00:19:42.920
from the people to govern for the next four years, I think we can make a lot of progress in the city.

238
00:19:43.120 --> 00:19:44.420
And I think that's what people want.

239
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:50.280
I mean all folks in Chicago, all the voters in Chicago want the city to move forward.

240
00:19:51.020 --> 00:19:54.260
So maybe the last week, the last two weeks.

241
00:19:54.260 --> 00:19:58.620
Well, see that was one of the things, is that we had a consistent theme throughout.

242
00:20:00.580 --> 00:20:10.460
The position we took is that this election was pretty much a referendum on old politics versus the new politics that we've had in the last four years.

243
00:20:10.860 --> 00:20:19.560
The old way of doing business in the city of Chicago versus a whole new approach that was really government for the best interests of the people of the city.

244
00:20:19.560 --> 00:20:25.960
The other thing was leadership. I mean who was best able to really lead the city into the 21st century?

245
00:20:28.060 --> 00:20:30.260
Hello, my name is Jackie Grimshaw.

246
00:20:30.280 --> 00:20:34.680
Currently I am the Deputy Campaign Manager for Mayor Harold Washington's re-election campaign.

247
00:20:35.260 --> 00:20:43.780
I have been doing Harold Washington's campaign since he was state senator in 1976-77 when he ran for mayor for the first time.

248
00:20:43.780 --> 00:21:00.220
Continuing on to his re-election to the state senate in 1978, then on to his bid for congress in 1980, his re-election in 1982, and the beginning of his mayoral campaign in the fall of 1982 into 1983 and currently.

249
00:21:00.620 --> 00:21:03.320
Back here once again for the 1987 re-election.

250
00:21:03.520 --> 00:21:07.200
And we'll probably be back here four years from now for the 1991 re-election.

251
00:21:08.080 --> 00:21:09.820
Is that good enough? You want more?

252
00:21:11.380 --> 00:21:27.660
We in Chicago, we in Chicago are all of you individually and your family certainly that much.

253
00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:36.840
Those are the dreams that I have for one city, one city all yours.

254
00:21:36.840 --> 00:21:39.840
Thank you.

255
00:22:06.840 --> 00:22:08.140
Thank you.

256
00:22:39.220 --> 00:22:42.720
We want a city! We want a city!

257
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:26.140
Thank you.

258
00:23:54.840 --> 00:23:57.640
Thank you.

259
00:24:06.840 --> 00:24:07.640
Thank you.

260
00:24:37.080 --> 00:24:37.600
Thank you.

261
00:24:41.760 --> 00:24:48.940
I'd like to thank all of you for showing up here on behalf of Tom Hines.

262
00:24:49.080 --> 00:24:52.700
Tom has I think a respect and admiration of all of us.

263
00:24:52.840 --> 00:24:55.240
We're talking about families, senior citizens.

264
00:24:55.680 --> 00:25:01.300
We're talking about a man who has a respect not only for his family but for many of us throughout this city.

265
00:25:02.080 --> 00:25:07.540
Tom's career in public life is one of the finest that I've ever seen in many, many years.

266
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:13.120
And at this time I would like to introduce the co-chairperson of this event, Maggie Daly. Maggie.

267
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:23.040
I'm going to win this election, and don't mistake about it.

268
00:25:33.040 --> 00:25:34.480
Thank you.

269
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:42.300
The votes, the votes are there to defeat Harold Washington and we're going to put them together and we will win on April 7th.

270
00:25:48.060 --> 00:25:54.380
One day. This to me is the highlight of a political campaign.

271
00:25:54.760 --> 00:25:59.020
A family day because it says what a city is all about.

272
00:25:59.020 --> 00:26:02.000
It says what's most important.

273
00:26:03.320 --> 00:26:08.500
It says what's most important in a city and for a city.

274
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:13.580
A city is not about foreign policy, about the Iran-Iraq war.

275
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:21.080
A city is about family and about neighborhoods and about equality of life for people.

276
00:26:22.540 --> 00:26:32.080
It is about creating a livable atmosphere and livable neighborhoods in which people want to be and want to raise their family.

277
00:26:33.700 --> 00:26:38.380
Where there are job opportunities and good housing and recreation and safety.

278
00:26:39.040 --> 00:26:44.860
That's what a city is all about. It's about families and that's why this day is so wonderful.

279
00:26:44.860 --> 00:26:53.900
And I want you to know that I and the Heinz family and the Daly family, thank you very much for being here.

280
00:26:54.080 --> 00:26:58.600
And let's just share a great wonderful afternoon. Thank you very much.

281
00:27:02.700 --> 00:27:09.660
The Beatles got back together just for you. John Leonard came back from the dead. Just to sing for your birthday.

282
00:27:17.180 --> 00:27:17.800
You!

283
00:27:19.360 --> 00:27:21.580
What's creating you, Mr. Steve?

284
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:22.160
Us!

285
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:27.900
The Beatles!

286
00:27:28.980 --> 00:27:30.180
The Beatles!

287
00:27:33.120 --> 00:27:33.680
The Beatles!

288
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:33.880
The Beatles!

289
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:36.800
We tried to make them serve but for some reason they wouldn't get it.

290
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:39.560
Should I go for Heinz?

291
00:27:40.020 --> 00:27:40.560
Yeah!

292
00:27:41.100 --> 00:27:41.520
Look!

293
00:27:41.520 --> 00:27:41.520


294
00:27:45.760 --> 00:27:50.600
...the department of fire, the school, the department of tradition, the squadron, the plane department.

295
00:27:51.120 --> 00:27:53.380
He's going to win anyway so what the heck?

296
00:27:53.740 --> 00:27:55.260
I don't believe he's going to win anyway.

297
00:27:57.980 --> 00:28:02.540
Well, even if you were saying even if he wins 51, what was that you said?

298
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:07.660
I wouldn't believe him because I know he's not the best qualified person to be the mayor of the city of Chicago.

299
00:28:07.840 --> 00:28:09.960
I thought Jane Burt would do a terrific job.

300
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:10.900
What about Heinz?

301
00:28:11.280 --> 00:28:13.580
I believe they can do good jobs.

302
00:28:14.940 --> 00:28:17.080
So how do they win now? There's four candidates this time.

303
00:28:17.820 --> 00:28:21.140
Get more people to vote for them than come out and vote for our Washington.

304
00:28:22.020 --> 00:28:27.500
Alright. Now, so even if he's going to win, summarize how you feel about this thing.

305
00:28:27.700 --> 00:28:31.560
People say that it's hopeless, that you can't knock him off so why are you still trying?

306
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:36.100
Well, I can remember every television station, every radio station, every newspaper.

307
00:28:36.100 --> 00:28:40.440
Sam Janeburn had 30% of the vote coming.

308
00:28:40.840 --> 00:28:44.100
Harold Washington had 70% and that happened on election night.

309
00:28:45.220 --> 00:28:48.280
I mean there are those who say that even guys like Mel.

310
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:54.300
The mayor in New York has had a number of conversations.

311
00:28:54.420 --> 00:28:57.300
Your name has come up as one of those that he's had conversations with.

312
00:28:58.020 --> 00:28:59.940
What is it that he said to you? What have you said to him?

313
00:29:00.300 --> 00:29:02.940
Well, I've talked to the mayor throughout the last four years.

314
00:29:02.940 --> 00:29:05.080
I've talked with all the candidates that are running.

315
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.620
We have a party tomorrow night where all four of them are showing up.

316
00:29:07.940 --> 00:29:15.440
So it's a situation where we talk about how to get your deal and work with them.

317
00:29:15.840 --> 00:29:22.380
I think that as the elected official from our ward, from the standpoint of the Democratic party,

318
00:29:22.460 --> 00:29:24.700
it's very difficult to work against a Democratic nominee.

319
00:29:25.560 --> 00:29:30.400
On the other hand, we also want to take into account the way that the votes went in the primary.

320
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:34.460
So we're going to work to get the vote out and make sure that everybody who's eligible comes out

321
00:29:34.460 --> 00:29:36.180
and we're going to let them vote the way they feel.

322
00:30:18.760 --> 00:30:20.280
Thank you.
