Some of the high school kids who have been glomming off those silly bus routes are angry. Good thing they can't vote! (Ha!) They are probably illegal immigrants and they'll never be able to, anyway.
In city budget news, the Mayor is apparently cranky about not getting his property tax increase. Why would I say that? Because he decided to pull out of his budget the only new spending items that people actually want:
Mayor Daley today postponed what few sweeteners there were in his 2008 budget — hiring 50 police officers and expanding curbside recycling to 131,000 more households — to pave the way for rolling back his proposed, $108 million property tax hike.
Thanks Mayor Daley! Good thing we'll still have new libraries to look at as they get vandalized due to not enough cops.
As a postscript, I don't want curbside recycling since that's hippie stuff. My point was that lots of people do, and since it's one of the less egregious new programs the city has devised recently I don't get very cranky about it.

I don't understand Chicago schools. Why in the heck are kids from way down south coming up to Addison for school? Why isn't it like it is in Indiana? You go to the school closest to you. If that were the case, most kids could probably WALK to school.
