Chicago, is a big city, more geographically so than otherwise. The three lane roads on both directions, sparsely located huge shopping centers packed with various stores, those you have known by names or those you have not. It is the third largest city in this nation.
Here in this city, a new mayor, the former White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel is to inaugurate on Monday. While there are the festivities and eventful ceremonies going on this weekend, the questions are hanging in the air with a big question mark. How would the succession to the new mayor go from the former mayor Richard Dalay, who served for six terms?
The new mayor, Rahm Emanuel, has been termed as "He's got a lot of energy. He's smart. He's been around. He knows this town". He has published the plan for the city, focusing on budgets, safety, education, infrastructure, etc.
According to the plan, you would sight more police personnel on the street. Each 10% increase in the size of the police force reduces violent crime by 4% and property crimes by 5%. The document claims, each extra dollar spent on policing can generate up to $8 in long-term savings.
Let us hope the new mayor will bring this city the safety that are badly needed in Chicago and new digital era to this historic yet vibrant city.
