For completists, there was no column on Tuesday.
Susana Mendoza made it official this morning and announced she is a candidate for mayor.
Me, on September 5:
“Before I heard that Toni Preckwinkle was making calls to gauge support, I made the case to a friend that former city clerk and state legislator Susana Mendoza, now the state comptroller, would become the immediate frontrunner if she jumped in the race.”
Nonetheless, the Beachwood Bookmaking Bureau still gives Preckwinkle the slight edge.

Just because she “fought” him once on some city sticker thing doesn’t mean she had a mixed relationship with him, that’s just silly. She steadfastly stood by his side.

For example, here she is standing directly behind him on Election Night and then appearing on Channel 7 the next morning touting him. (Bonus point, tho: “I didn’t even like the guy my first year in office … “) https://t.co/R4DjYhSTyU | #chimayor19

Exclusive! Why Chicago Lost HQ2
It starts with Mayor Enyia and ends with Sneedlings. Oh, Chicago. You’ll never be New York. Definitely not LA.
And just like the Olympics, Chicago doesn’t even get a podium spot.

NHL In Chintzy Tentative Concussion Settlement: Not Our Fault
“The NHL settlement includes only 318 players who will get up to $22,000 – roughly 3% of the minimum salary for a current NHL player – and each is entitled to medical testing and treatment of up to $75,000 each.
“Only 146 former players put their names to this litigation, a list that included Steve Montador, a former Chicago Blackhawks player diagnosed with the debilitating brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) after his death in 2015.”
“I don’t want somebody else to be in this position, you know?
You have a lot more years to live after professional sports.”
Thank you to the @PlayersTribune for capturing my story & to @NICKBOYNTON24 for such an honest piece of writing. Love you bro! pic.twitter.com/c9YElBYMEh
