I live in the south suburbs and glad I didn’t “get” to vote in this one. Was a real tossup with neither candidate really acceptable. And they already have a Gay Pride parade. Liberal isn’t the word for it - that’s why I moved out. A chunk of the population is gay and there are a whole lot of illegals. Certainly the Katrina refugees hasn’t helped the crime situation any. They have severe money problems and have not had a good mayor for a very long time. Although they have a city council - with at least two other gay members - the mayor rules the roost. Suspect the first thing you will see go are any arrests of the gay population for anything. The policemen backed the other candidate so it’s going to be a rough ride. Current police chief should have been fired a long time ago and wonder how much the fact that he is Black had to do with it. Current mayor - Bill White - is going to run for Governor next year.
The new mayor will fire the chief. My money’s on a “gay” chief being selected followed by “gay” officers being elevated to positions of authority within the dept.
“I live in the south suburbs”
Me too,in another town.I was thinking just the other day when I passed thru Houston....Lord God! I’m so glad I don’t live in Houston!! To a person that’s lived outside...it would be like moving to NYC.
But, we do have a good highway system around and that’s primarily what I use.

Sounds like they will be a head butting game going on.
