Rahm Emanuel Wants to Withhold City Contracts to Punish Banks That Won't Restrict Gun Businesses:
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) wants to use city contracts to punish banks that will not restrict and/or regulate clients involved in the firearms industry.
“When it comes to fighting for stronger, smarter gun laws Chicago is putting our money where our mouth is. The private sector has a role to play in supporting public safety. Chicago should give our business to companies who share our values and want to be part of the solution to gun violence, not profit from it.”What money? Chicago is broke!
They don't have any money, which is the consequence of putting all of its aldermen in the pocket of the Democratic Party. In Chicago, that's called "putting our money where our mouth is".
Who knew that a Chicago Politician could be so candid?
The up side is, more banks may now be willing to espouse an "involvement" in "the firearms industry" ... if only to avoid any more involvement with the irresponsible government of that once "Toddling Town".

Mayor Rahm is not as radical as those running against him.
Various level of "Radical" include only "Good" and "Bad" choices? I take your point, but traumatic amputation of the extremities is not as radical as the guillotine. Neither is an experience which is conducive to your survival. This are approximately the choices available to the Democratic State of Chicago. But then again ... you get the government you vote for (if you're in the majority).
Chicago might be well served the the infusion of some dissident voters.
Not that it's any of MY business.
