      @@stephenflood5374 people outside of Chicago are not aware of the Chicago election machine and its election tampering (93+ years) and its automatic democratic result. Research it. Everyone in Chicago is not voting democrat. So such statements, which come from a sincere noble place, but not completely informed. This is exactly why trump stood up against election fraud for US 2020 presidential election (larger scale fraud) and he was told he was making things up. Now the country, unknowingly, knows how Chicagoans feel when you vote and the election is not fairly cast.

    This is how the structural damage started years ago. There should be laws put in place. If they want to pay out of pocket for the renovation, then so be it. Otherwise, all items should be voted on by the city council before spending that kind of money. You are elected, you get what the city paid for in the past. You live with it or pay for the changes yourself. It is spending like this the continues. I was every penny saved adds up. That could have paid for another cop, or other city staff that would help the city with the needs. It could have paid for a small park or more clean up. Etc. Corruption will continue until new laws are in place and inforced to stop the spending on things like that. It's time to cut the purse strings. Perhaps a financial board should be created with the normal citizens to give approval for things like this. Not people with salaries of 200,000 but ordinary citizens know it is a waste to spend 4000 on a desk when you can get ones for way cheaper that do the job. There are probably a dozen or more desks in empty offices from job eliminations in city buildings across the city that could have been moved into that office for a minimum amount of money.
