- Mayor Richard Daley abruptly backed out of all his scheduled public appearances for the third straight day, then was blown off by labor unions he was supposed to meet with on the city budget deficit.
His absence from the public eye comes as the mayor has yet to address the latest developments in the controversy surrounding his nephew, Robert Vanecko.
[...] Daley spokeswoman Jacquelyn Heard said the mayor is still sick but returned to work in the office today, primarily to attend a meeting with leaders of labor unions that represent city employees. The Daley administration has threatened to lay off hundreds of union workers to balance the budget if the unions don't agree to concessions.
But the unions did not attend today's meeting. Chicago Federation of Labor spokesman Nick Kaleba said the organization had no comment about skipping the meeting.
Daley is not going to do well in prison, that's for sure.
So now that the other unions are skipping out on meetings with the mayor, perhaps it's time for another march? Get a few more supporters on board? A larger cross section of the workforce maybe? A little more attention brought to bear on the millions wasted, the billion in TIF money, the endemic corruption that's brought Chicago to its knees?
