Aldercreature Flees Constituents

This doesn't bode well for Shiller's re-election chances:

• A Chicago 2016 meeting Monday night got ugly at the end as some angry Uptown residents went after 46th Ward Alderman Helen Shiller, calling her ineffective.
  
  Alderman Helen Shiller began by trying to explain to some of her constituents that she's concerned with the recent violence.
  
  "The level of violence, actually, is less this year than last although I think that that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be concerned," Shiller said.
  
  But when residents began to get angry, Shiller stormed out and they followed.

And when you have an elected official refusing to stand and take the heat, you usually have a new elected official when the next elections are held.

Shiller has driven that ward into the ground with its myriad of shelters and clusters of halfway houses. And then you have the giant low-income monstrosity at Montrose and Broadway that will be unrecognizable from a Taylor Home project building within two years. Anybody have some political ambitions over in the 46th Ward?
