Selling the Referendum

Someone asked if we could supply "selling points" for those collecting signatures. Some stories they could tell people they approach to somehow justify reducing the number of aldercreatures from 50 to something around 25 or maybe less.

Seriously?

• Foie Gras ban
• Bottled Water tax
• Potholes
• Sewer collapses
• Snow removal - haha
  
• Barking dogs
• Burke actually proposed looking under dogs tails for unneutered pets
  
• Substandard schools that never get better
• Crooked land deals, including CTA property for $1
• Approval of the Parking Meter debacle
• Approval of selling Chicago's future for pennies on the dollar
• Wasting money fighting for a gun ban that is in direct conflict with an established Supreme Court ruling
• Jackpot justice payouts

Oh yeah, and an undermanned Police Department that has been giving and giving for over two years of de facto layoffs via attrition without any relief in sight.

Does that sell it?
