WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:11.220 On record, he's saying that he's supporting Mayor Daley, just like a black voter, an African-American 2 00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:14.660 voter will not tell you that he's going to cast his vote for Mayor Daley. 3 00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:20.080 By an election day, I think you're going to see that there are going to be a lot of African-Americans 4 00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:21.600 who are going to be voting for Mayor Daley. 5 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:30.760 You know, openly they're not going to say that because they don't want to be marked by the rest of the 6 00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:37.180 African-American community. And that's why you've got people who will not tell you who they're going to vote for. 7 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:44.620 You know, I don't know what else, I don't know how else to explain it to you. 8 00:00:45.580 --> 00:00:54.140 But it seems to go both ways because you were telling us that some of the older white ethnic groups are real comfortable 9 00:00:54.140 --> 00:00:56.300 with having you as their representative. 10 00:00:57.260 --> 00:01:05.840 Sure, sure. And I'd be foolish not to seek their support or their votes. I mean, I'm going to go to the Italian-American 11 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:12.860 club tonight. I know where the votes are, but they know that I've done a good job. 12 00:01:13.940 --> 00:01:18.400 They're not voting for me because of the color of my skin. 13 00:01:19.160 --> 00:01:25.080 They're voting for me because they feel that I've done my job and that I've represented them well. 14 00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:31.880 If they didn't, they probably would have slated a white ethnic to run against me, which would have probably split the vote, 15 00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:37.780 you know, and given the possibility of somebody else winning this election. 16 00:01:45.700 --> 00:01:55.420 They probably wouldn't be. They probably wouldn't be, but I'm not black. 17 00:01:55.420 --> 00:02:00.400 I think Alderman Burke was putting this, he was talking about a shared immigrant experience. 18 00:02:00.820 --> 00:02:07.600 He was taking a look at the old immigrant groups that had been part of that coalition, the Poles, the Irish, the Italians, 19 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:13.600 also Catholic groups, and comparing it to the immigrant group, especially of Mexicans, is there something in that 20 00:02:13.600 --> 00:02:19.880 that there's a similar sort of way of coming into the city and coming up through the city that makes it more of a national coalition? 21 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:30.320 Again, I think so. Most of us were immigrants. Some of us by choice, some of us not by choice. 22 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:37.280 I think the important thing to all of this is understanding people's cultures. 23 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.400 We all have different experiences coming to this country. 24 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:51.600 I'm second, I'm first generation Mexican American. My parents, one of my parents wasn't born here. 25 00:02:51.940 --> 00:02:55.660 One of my parents was. All my brothers and my sister were born here. 26 00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:03.840 But yet we've held on to speaking Spanish, we speak English, but we've held on to some of our cultural heritage, 27 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:09.820 which I think is fine. I don't have a problem with that. I don't see why other people should. 28 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:16.100 You know, you've got people going around saying that, you know, English only, you know, 29 00:03:17.020 --> 00:03:27.040 but you'd be eliminating a lot of different languages that has brought really a unique group of people together. 30 00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:34.040 And I think that the only way we're going to overcome a lot of the problems is by understanding our cultures, really, 31 00:03:34.220 --> 00:03:37.060 and the history that each of us have had in this country. 32 00:03:38.300 --> 00:03:39.720 Just one quick question. 33 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:42.080 No. 34 00:03:43.320 --> 00:03:46.000 Okay. This is also something you talked about the other day. 35 00:03:46.940 --> 00:03:52.920 You seem to be proud of being part of an organization as far as being in politics. 36 00:03:53.640 --> 00:03:56.640 You were talking about that the other day. I don't know what you said. 37 00:03:56.880 --> 00:03:59.220 You can sort of tell us that again. That's important for us. 38 00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:04.560 I feel proud of being part of an organization that I'm trying to build. It's not easy. 39 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:10.700 Again, you have to look at the mechanisms that were in place 20 or 30 years ago. 40 00:04:11.480 --> 00:04:17.160 I certainly wasn't part of what they called the democratic machine. 41 00:04:18.020 --> 00:04:25.360 But I understand the importance of having a well-organized campaign and an organization 42 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.860 because the bottom line in politics is numbers. 43 00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:34.980 If you produce the numbers, you're going to be respected and you're going to gain some power. 44 00:04:36.020 --> 00:04:40.060 And because of that, you're going to be able to do some things for the people that you represent. 45 00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:45.620 The higher the numbers, the higher the percentage, the more powerful you are, the more respected you are. 46 00:04:46.540 --> 00:04:53.560 And that is one of the goals that I have in terms of building a political organization in this work. 47 00:04:54.300 --> 00:04:56.900 Does it benefit me? Yes, in certain ways it does. 48 00:04:56.900 --> 00:05:07.680 But the reality is that in politics, you've got to build a well-developed and organized mechanism for getting out that vote. 49 00:05:08.260 --> 00:05:16.100 And we don't shy away from that. We're involved in naturalization and making legal resident citizens. 50 00:05:16.440 --> 00:05:18.220 We're involved in voter registration. 51 00:05:18.840 --> 00:05:22.080 And as I told you earlier, we want more young people to get involved. 52 00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:26.700 We want to educate them about the importance of being involved in politics. 53 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.280 I think that it's very important to any community. 54 00:05:30.080 --> 00:05:31.620 Do you really love politics? Pardon me? 55 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:36.140 Do you love politics? I've been bitten by the bug. I love politics. 56 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.240 That's great. We're going to take the camera. 57 00:05:40.420 --> 00:05:41.780 Here's Rhyme Town. Rhyme Town starts. 58 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.540 Okay, whole variety of low-end and phones there. 59 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.480 Hello? In the city of Chicago. 60 00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:18.680 Yeah. Hey, Paul, what's up? 61 00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:21.340 And I keep looking at the camera when you're done. 62 00:06:21.400 --> 00:06:24.360 All right.

No, and we got to, I think this gentleman's going to have to be. 68 00:06:41.820 --> 00:06:43.780 My name is Ambrosio Medrano. 69 00:06:43.940 --> 00:06:49.600 I am running for reelection for the Chicago City Council as alderman of the 25th ward. 70 00:06:53.300 --> 00:06:56.740 One more time, I'll say it with even more energy.

370 00:19:03.900 --> 00:19:07.860 No, because what would happen is the contractors would start pulling their trucks on the street, 371 00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:12.640 they would start having ladders on it, they would start leaving their tools and the wheel 372 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:14.100 and everything else out there. 373 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:16.940 That's a problem that they have in other parts of the city. 374 00:19:17.360 --> 00:19:21.040 We have never allowed trucks parked in the 41st ward, and we're not... 375 00:19:21.040 --> 00:19:23.740 I wish you would have known this before we moved into the 41st ward. 376 00:19:23.760 --> 00:19:26.900 Well, it's not because you're being persecuted, it's because that's the law. 377 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.420 We cannot define between what is a pickup truck and what is utility pickup. 378 00:19:30.420 --> 00:19:31.340 How come other wards can't? 379 00:19:31.340 --> 00:19:32.080 Only a few. 380 00:19:32.140 --> 00:19:33.300 That's entirely up to their ward. 381 00:19:33.340 --> 00:19:37.640 There's only about three or four wards to do it, and most of them have industrial areas 382 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:42.620 where you might have loft apartments or you might have old warehouses or you might have 383 00:19:42.620 --> 00:19:46.420 single-family homes interspersed between factories and manufacturing, 384 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:48.440 and they really, it's not a big deal to them. 385 00:19:48.820 --> 00:19:49.460 Here it is. 386 00:19:49.600 --> 00:19:52.420 Believe me, the lid would be off if that was a problem. 387 00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:54.160 It really is a problem. 388 00:19:54.580 --> 00:19:55.800 We're paying the highest taxes in the city. 389 00:19:55.820 --> 00:19:57.560 Then what I did then, rent a garage. 390 00:19:57.820 --> 00:19:58.960 There are no garages. 391 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:03.680 We looked to foot our other car in a garage so we could keep one of our vehicles in the garage. 392 00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:06.200 I sympathize with the situation, but there's no... 393 00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:08.460 So we either have to sell the truck or just keep getting tickets. 394 00:20:08.460 --> 00:20:13.420 Or an attempt that I would do is see if you can get the Secretary of State to deem it an RV. 395 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.460 But then we have to spend $500 to put a cab on it. 396 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:18.240 397 00:20:18.420 --> 00:20:18.920 So we're really in a box. 398 00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:19.740 Or you can use cabs. 399 00:20:19.760 --> 00:20:21.620 So we're either in a box no matter where we go. 400 00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:23.180 Can I have the parking brake laid on the truck? 401 00:20:23.500 --> 00:20:29.260 I tell you what, as soon as some point in this time somebody lets city workers move out of the city, 402 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.800 Brian, and you don't have a tax base, that's going to be the real plane of this. 403 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.360 Well, I understand that you're not happy because you can't park your truck on the street. 404 00:20:37.360 --> 00:20:39.560 No, because I pay the highest taxes in the city. 405 00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:41.480 So do I, and so does everyone else in the city. 406 00:20:41.500 --> 00:20:45.740 I realize that, and you're fighting, and one of your flyers says that you're fighting to lower those. 407 00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:47.440 But we're still doing it. 408 00:20:47.800 --> 00:20:52.140 As a public school teacher, I do not feel like I can send my children to a public school in the city. 409 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:54.380 So I'm spending lots of money sending them out. 410 00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:57.980 Now I can't even park a small little pickup on the street. 411 00:20:57.980 --> 00:20:59.600 You cannot park a B-Plug on the street. 412 00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:01.980 But see, that's what we need a little help with. 413 00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:05.500 And I cannot help you with that because if I issued someone one permit, 414 00:21:05.500 --> 00:21:07.680 I'd have to issue another and another. 415 00:21:08.060 --> 00:21:08.060 416 00:21:08.140 --> 00:21:09.340 And then how do I disturb them? 417 00:21:09.340 --> 00:21:10.420 Do I have them bring the truck in? 418 00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:10.740 Maybe. 419 00:21:11.280 --> 00:21:12.680 The community wouldn't accept it. 420 00:21:12.800 --> 00:21:13.340 I'm telling you. 421 00:21:13.500 --> 00:21:18.380 You know how many calls I get from people saying that this guy's got his business truck parked in front of his house all night, 422 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:19.060 and it's a pain? 423 00:21:19.520 --> 00:21:21.260 I got lists and lists like that. 424 00:21:21.260 --> 00:21:24.980 And you couldn't do like a gradient of what size trucks they were and what they were? 425 00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:27.500 I'm being pushed by the Secretary of State's office, not by us. 426 00:21:30.260 --> 00:21:30.660 Okay. 427 00:21:31.080 --> 00:21:33.440 I know you're frustrated, and believe me, I was too. 428 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.040 I mean, I'd move out of the city in a drop of a hat. 429 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:37.800 I had the same problem. 430 00:21:38.100 --> 00:21:39.200 I mean, the exact same problem. 431 00:21:39.300 --> 00:21:41.820 I had a little, you know, I worked for a contractor. 432 00:21:41.900 --> 00:21:45.160 I bought a truck, and I couldn't park it. 433 00:21:45.180 --> 00:21:46.900 It was a nice little, I had it repainted and everything. 434 00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:48.140 It was a beautiful looking truck. 435 00:21:48.740 --> 00:21:50.860 But I couldn't park it on the street, and I kept getting tickets. 436 00:21:51.140 --> 00:21:51.640 Neighbors would call. 437 00:21:52.180 --> 00:21:53.420 I went to the neighborhood. 438 00:21:54.280 --> 00:21:58.000 I found a black woman that wasn't using a garage, and I rented a garage for her. 439 00:21:58.200 --> 00:21:59.620 And I had to pay $50 a month. 440 00:21:59.620 --> 00:22:03.240 I wish it wasn't that easy, because we've looked all over our neighborhood. 441 00:22:03.660 --> 00:22:04.560 We've called people. 442 00:22:04.760 --> 00:22:05.300 We've gone over. 443 00:22:05.320 --> 00:22:07.840 We cannot find a place to park it. 444 00:22:08.040 --> 00:22:12.780 I wish I could have an answer for you, but I don't, because I've had this situation a number of times. 445 00:22:13.180 --> 00:22:14.800 And I've researched, and I looked at it. 446 00:22:14.800 --> 00:22:17.420 So you're saying, unless it's a recreational vehicle. 447 00:22:17.740 --> 00:22:18.180 Right. 448 00:22:19.360 --> 00:22:23.880 Because those are so big and huge, and they've got so much other stuff on them, but those are okay. 449 00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:28.980 If they're under 16 feet, you have to move them at least every seven days. 450 00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:31.580 16 feet compared to a little car. 451 00:22:31.860 --> 00:22:34.620 I don't make those classifications, the Secretary of State does. 452 00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.660 We don't be truck means business truck plate. 453 00:22:38.040 --> 00:22:38.560 That's what it is. 454 00:22:38.560 --> 00:22:42.840 Okay, so do we, but we have to have the truck plate on it when it's not really being used as a truck. 455 00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:48.480 Unless you can get, if you can get the Secretary of State to give you passenger plates or recreational plates, you can park it there. 456 00:22:49.020 --> 00:22:51.060 But that's up to the Secretary of State to issue you that. 457 00:22:51.220 --> 00:22:55.700 I'm just saying that that's, I'm not even talking about the Secretary of State. 458 00:22:55.700 --> 00:23:03.420 I'm just saying the law that you have right now in place, which I think that you're in charge of as far as the ward seems to be a bit inflexible. 459 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:10.700 Well, maybe I'll look into it, but I don't, the problem is determining what is a utility bill and what's. 460 00:23:12.120 --> 00:23:13.000 I agree, it would be a problem. 461 00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:16.840 Maybe it is something that we can look into, but I don't foresee a quick change. 462 00:23:16.840 --> 00:23:16.840 463 00:23:17.620 --> 00:23:21.260 No, other wards state the Electoral Permit, but there's only three or four wards that do that. 464 00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:22.880 Well, maybe we could be one of them. 465 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:24.780 No, because the community is against it. 466 00:23:24.840 --> 00:23:25.880 Totally.
