Bridget Gainer misses nearly 23% of her meetings as 10th District Cook County Commissioner. If any of us missed work anywhere near that often we’d be fired. Justifiably.
We deserve better.
Vote for @drakefor10.bsky.social on March 17th.

Whoa - the incumbent that Drake is running against has the second worst attendance record in the current term
@drakewarren.bsky.social is running to be a full time Cook County Commissioner. We need real progressives who actually treat their positions of public trust seriously. He is running against someone who clearly doesn't do that and doesn't show up 23% of the time.

Saturday’s Moving Archer Forward open house was a big success, with more than 100 neighbors sharing their thoughts with city officials.
If you didn’t get a chance to swing by McKinley Park this past weekend, you can still get involved.

Energy efficiency upgrade applications for low-moderate income folks who own single or two flat homes are open. You could get a heat pump for free, or other upgrades, if eligible

Illinois needs to build more housing
With a little wiggling, this works into my plan for Chicago reunification. East Chicago, Chicago Heights, West Chicago, and North Chicago would become the boundaries of our Chicago city-state.

A condo building rises about ten stories, eight of which contain homes. It is approximately twice as tall as the next neighboring building. Located to the left of the condo is 24 hour Family Mart, a common convenience store chain. Located to the right of the condo is a 24 hour ramen shop.
Spotted this fun small condo building across the street from our hotel near the Tokyo airport. A short walk to the train station, and located between a 24 hour convenience store and a 24 hour ramen shop 🤤
