Chicago

To use an old phrase, today there is a bell weather election in Chicago. How it goes will tell the country which way the other big cities will go. Crime is up by 46% this year and crime is the major issue in the campaign. One candidate is a man who wants to spend less on police and use that money for social programs. The other want to build up the police. The interesting thing is that crime is rated the most important issue but by only 50% of the people.
