First, while this is about a state-level program, it's malpractice not to mention that #ChiMayor23 candidate Paul Vallas has long talked about a Chicago witness protection program, including in this recent Op-Ed in the very same #ChicagoTribune: https://www.chicagotribune.com/opinion/commentary/ct-opinion-chicago-witness-protection-safety-police-20220321-bzsokcoqazdrxdpcz4g5d5ebxm-story.html

Does Fran Spielman get paid by the article? The only news here is the housekeeping of when SEIU Local 1 announces their support of Johnson. It's worth a sentence, if that. It's like making a story out of a scientist announcing that they'll be holding a press conference to declare that the sun will come up in the morning.

Dear #SunTimes: You are under no obligation to publish letters from allies of candidates, particularly when they are as unpersuasive as this one is. Just say no.

Entering the Vallas is not slavish enough to MAGA phase.

RT @BertHasReturned
When is @PaulVallas going to publicly apologize to @RonDeSantisFL for condemning him?Paul, remember when you said that you didn't show boat like @LoriLightfoot & before that when you said you would work with @RealDonaldTrump?

Washington:
"A new, nonpartisan poll ... pegged the 2023 mayoral campaign as a tight, four-way race among incumbent Lori Lightfoot, former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas, U.S. Rep. Jesus 'Chuy' Garcia and businessman Willie Wilson."
Methodology unclear. Poll also two weeks old. Undecideds at 20%.

Laura Washington: Early voter turnout in Chicago elections is high #ChicagoTribune

Now Mendoza is filing a state bill to help her brother. OK.
And, of course, there's the timing of the article - the election is seven days away. Reckless.
-
The #ChicagoTribune quotes UIC professor emeritus and local good-government go-to source Dick Simpson without disclosing that Simpson has endorsed the mayor's re-election bid and contributed $15,000 to her campaign.
I got the total from the Trib's own "search contributions" function.

City Council members appointed by Mayor Lightfoot find ties to her are a double-edged sword – Chicago Tribune

By the director of AARP, LOL.

#StacyDavisGates and CTU leadership lying to their members. I tried to engage SDG on the #ChicagoIndex "poll" she touted (and probably helped fix by enrolling allies on the panel) and she dismissed me repeatedly. She has a history of deceit ignored by the media, who benefit from CTU leaks/tips about CPS. #ChiMayor23 ##Chicago

Just catching up with this #ChicagoReader #LoriLightfoot "interview" that fails to ask a single tough questions. What's wrong with #Chicago's media?

#BlockClubChicago should be ashamed for accepting this "sponsorship" ad from #ChicagoIndex, which is an irresponsible fake polling outfit. #ChiMayor23
They should be even more ashamed if they report on the results.

On the same day, the #ChicagoSunTimes' #FranSpielman reports on a poll showing #BrandonJohnson in 5th place in one article and about his "surge" in another. Johnson's campaign has been touting a surge since day one - when they pushed a joke survey showing he led the field with 25% of the vote. The two most recent polls have him at 7%- 8% of the vote, where he's always been. #ChiMayor23 #Journalism

#ChicagoIndex email just arrived. Anyone can just click and take their survey! Like, say, CTU minions pushing #BrandonJohnson! Don't fall for the results, though I know many of you will. #Janky #Journalism #JournalismEthics #Polls #ChiMayor23

Anyone have a frame of reference, any previous mayoral incumbents with 42/50 sitting alderman *not* endorsing?

RT @FrankCalabrese
Chicago mayor candidate Paul Vallas @PaulVallas was endorsed by 42nd Ward Ald. Brendan Reilly @AldReilly. I count 28 aldermen endorsing for #chimayor23. Lori Lightfoot has 8 endorsements, Brandon Johnson has 7, Chuy Garcia has 5, & Vallas has 4. #twill

Here's how #NeilSteinberg of the #ChicagoSunTimes described the mayoral field in 2015, including a racist swipe at #ChuyGarcia: https://www.beachwoodreporter.com/top/the_tuesday_papers_450/

There is no "uncomfortable kernel of truth" in #WillieWilson's "rabbit" comments, I can assure you. And I can't quite find the kernel in Washington's column, either. #ChiMayor23

Moderator: "The reality is that people don't even feel safe going to work anymore."
These crime questions are based on false narratives.

#ABC7Chicago's #ChiMayor23 debate stream is making me nauseous, what with the flashing and waving.

I don't think anyone except the mysteriously revered veteran #SunTimes City Hall reporter thinks this is really Ray Lopez's motivation.

Lopez Endorses Willie Wilson For Mayor
"Eager to ease historic political tensions between Blacks and Hispanics, Ald. Ray Lopez (15th) on Wednesday endorsed millionaire businessman Willie Wilson for mayor of Chicago."
https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-mayor-election-2023-willie-wilson/12652410/
ABC7 carries her stories; this is where collaboration goes astray. Her bad takes are amplified.

Willie Wilson Aide Rickey "Hollywood" Hendon Drops Petition Challenge To Ald. Rod Sawyer
"Hearing officer Frank Tedesso stopped the proceeding several times as tensions rose, including once when Hendon, who said he had the flu, threatened to breathe on Odelson."
Also part of Wilson's clown show: campaign manager former Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin.
