Toni Duncan, Mistress of the 49th Ward Blogosphere, convinced some understanding Street and Sanitation workers to fix a hazard on the sidewalk.
"Thanks to the sensible, understanding workmen this morning, the seniors in wheelchairs can safely get across," Toni writes. Will Alderman Joe Moore take credit for yet another good thing that he had nothing to with? According to Toni, "the ward office had absolutely nothing to do with the patch on the former Hole On Howard." (FULL POST...)
Gee, this reminds me of a pile of gravel next to a bus stop, in front of some stores, that Alderman Moore's office has known about FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. The excuse: It's Streets and San's responsibility. Yes, but it's an alderman's job to liaison with Streets and San (and other other city bureaus) TO GET THINGS DONE. But that's not Joe's style. He's too busy campaigning in other states for Oback Barama and working on his run for Congress in 2009.
