- The greatest tribute we can pay to Mayor Jane Byrne (pictured above) is to elect a new mayor.
It’s come to my attention that there’s a movement in town to pay tribute to former mayor Jane Byrne with some sort of monument or honorary street name.
Truth be told, I’m torn on the issue . . .
The standard wisdom is that Bilandic lost only because of his incompetence in dealing with all the snow that blanketed our city that winter.
Point is, you might say that Mayor Byrne’s greatest contribution to Chicago was getting elected in the first place.
I’d forgotten all about her write-in campaign, so allow me to take a moment to thank Albert “Bill” Williams, Reader theater critic extraordinaire, for taking the time to send me an e-mail and remind me about it.
You know which bum I’m talking about.
