Dear Broadcast Media: Thank you for your recent interest in local politics! Your valiant efforts are worthy of recognition in the Jedi archives.My own primary interest in the story is not so much what's written on the side of the receptacles, but the price tag attached to them. $1,000 per unit? Those things better actually amble around picking up trash for us, or at the very least be capable of door knocking.

ReplyDeleteThey can't all be gems, can they?
ReplyDeleteHey, why wasn't there a flap about all those wonks blowing off that money meeting? I would really like to see the phone/voicemail/email records. Did anyone who failed to attend rsvp? Calling in at the half doesn't count. If not, we really have no right laughing at Chicago politics.
