'Lightfoot is not the first, nor will she be the last, mayor to object to having to pay firefighters’ pension obligations.' | bennyjshow
But a lot of people around here did and said foolish things in the heat of that political campaign. Including Congressman Bobby Rush, another Preckwinkle supporter,of candidate Lightfoot, “If any young Black male or female is killed by a police officer, under a Lightfoot administration, then the blood would be on those voters’ hands who elected her.”
In both cases, it was nothing personal. Martwick was a champion of the elected school board bill long before Lightfoot was even a candidate for mayor. Lightfoot is not the first, nor will she be the last, mayor to object to having to pay firefighters’ pension obligations. Mayor Rahm hated it so much that for a while in his first term, he fell into the habit of showing up at firehouses—always with bodyguards—to taunt firefighters that he was going to cut their pensions.Lightfoot hasn’t gone that far. But her objections to mandatory pension payments are similar to Mayor Rahm’s.
A few years ago, before he was president of FOP, Catanzara got into hot water with the police department for posingin which he was holding an American flag and standing in front of a sign that read, “I stand for the anthem. I love the American flag. I support my president and the 2nd amendment.” As a believer in free speech, I champion his right to pose for that photo. Though I must point out that Catanzara has vowed to oust from the union any member who took a knee in solidarity with Black Lives Matter protesters.
