The [Wednesday] Papers
1. Enyia's Spokesperson Resigns Citing "Several Unknown And Troubling Factors."
I don't know what this is about, but I wish someone would vet Enyia's resume. I keep reading about her expertise as an international municipal consultant without ever seeing a single example of her work. I have yet to hear what she has accomplished as the longtime executive director of the Austin Chamber of Commerce. She claims to be an organizer yet she had four years since her last run for mayor to prepare for this run for mayor and had just sixty bucks in her campaign account before Chance and Kanye came along - and she needed Kanye to settle an astounding $70,000 in unpaid state election board fines. She said she filed petitions with 62,000 signatures when she apparently had 40,000 signatures. She has three bodyguards. I'm not saying there aren't reasonable responses to these queries, but I am saying I haven't seen them yet.
2. How Are Chicago's Breweries Like Its Murder Rate?
As the Tribune and many other outlets report that Chicago is now the nation's brewery capital, the truth buried in the Trib's story that doesn't deter it or anyone else from jumping on the bandwagon:
"Chicago's number of breweries per capita lags behind many other top cities; Portland, Ore., is home to 139 breweries among 1.8 million people (in 2010 Census numbers), while Chicago's 167 breweries exist amid 8.2 million people."
So the story isn't exactly true. Sorry, Chicago! Per capita is a J101 notion, but we live in a sub-J101 world.
3. Dennis Rodman Fighting To Stay Sober.
As I understand it, Rodman frequently showed up to Bulls practices drunk - and it was tolerated because his game performances were so strong. But shouldn't a responsible organization have put him into an EAP? Perhaps they tried; I'd like to know.

Two mayoral forums last night and a Rahm speech this morning. Here's are the tweets, the full tweets, and nothing but the tweets.
One city in which the computers work, and another that is the county clerk's office. https://t.co/MQwajV06F4

How about a mayor who "lets" the city council pick its own committee chairs, the way it's supposed to be done? https://t.co/TZnnR0MW93

Each #ChiMayor19 candidate should be asked whether they will control the city council or break from the past and support a truly independent legislative body.
— Beachwood Reporter (@BeachwoodReport) December 12, 2018

Each #ChiMayor19 candidate should be asked what their #FOIA policy will be should they win the election - and in the case of former/current officeholders, how that contrasts with past practices, such as Garry McCarthy at CPD.
— Beachwood Reporter (@BeachwoodReport) December 12, 2018
*
Each #ChiMayor19 candidate who entered the race only after Rahm bailed should be asked why they didn't have the courage to take on Rahm if they care as much about the city - and see the urgent need for change - that they now profess.

Each #ChiMayor19 candidate should be asked if they ever voted for Rahm Emanuel, and why. And if they ever voted for Richard M. Daley and why.

They should.
Will the #ChiMayor19 candidates each release their taxes?

So were the following rent control tweets.

One of the leading Chicago mayoral candidates in favor of rent control. Governor-elect offially in favor of repealing state preemption. https://t.co/iiHb0ijRlq

Mayoral candidates just asked point blank if they support rent control
— Save The Hideout (@jmtryneski) December 12, 2018
Lightfoot no, focus should be elsewhere
Enya yes, thanks @LTBcoalition
McCarthey no, will hurt property taxes

A sampling.
But McCarthy didn't want the video released at all - and there *was* a criminal investigation into the cover-up. We're awaiting the verdict of the judge. (I don't recall McCarthy offering any evidence, btw). And please vet claims instead of just tweeting them as if they're true. https://t.co/vLQztNHIxX

Via Politico Illinois Playbook. Again: There has been a criminal investigation; we just had a trial & the judge will render a verdict soon. If he gave evidence to law enforcement, we didn't see or hear about it. Tell all or shut up. Also, McCarthy was against releasing the video. pic.twitter.com/CdO6BvJByx

Becky Carroll was infamously and egregiously disingenuous with reporters and opponents of Rahm's school closings, accusing them of not caring about kids as much as she did. To my knowledge, she has not recanted or apologized now that the closings have been found disastrous. pic.twitter.com/7gpzWnG7zP
