The Madigan announcement will have all sort of cascading effects, even down to the ward level.
Back in Daleyworld, another one bites the dust.
From Gaper's Block, we learn, among other things, that Daley is an "Anthony Mason-Charles Oakely-Shaq intimidator."
Daley's 2016 crew takes their show on the road.
Ald. Pope (10th) in a world of parking meter pain.
A TIF is conceived, in a not-so-blighted area. I can almost hear the keys tapping on Joravsky's typewriter.
Another day, another rat.

Hittin' the links: Crapsplosion!
Daley throws cold water on rumors of a pending Preckwinkle-for-Prez endorsement.
The skeletal outlines of a (slightly) more powerful anti-Daley caucus? Schulter (47th) and Mell (33rd), who have their own ward-level political reasons for being on this list, probably don't count.
The Reader and the Trib offer their takes on yesterday's parking meter hearing. Kass has his own quixotic offering.
The AFL-CIO puts in its lot (and, more importantly, its money) with Daley's Olympic Village.
And, while catching up on old Straight Dope columns, I came across this fascinating comparison of crime in various "revitalizing" neighborhoods.
More recently, the Dope drills down on all this crappy weather we've been having.
Talk about crappy. Ha.

After two hours of teeth gnashing and argument, the city council approves the mayor's furlough days plan.
Afterwards, Mick gets into it with the mayor.
The biggest topic of discussion at the Council meeting? How much it costs to carry a dead body.
Hinz (via a fresh Civic Committee report) dings Daley on one of his signature issues: education.
Chicago gets a bit bigger.
Some minor portfolio-swapping in the Daley administration.
Plans to build an Olympic Village roll on, which has Crain's worried.
Having signed away the parking spaces they did have jurisdiction over, Richard Mell (33rd) and Tom Allen (38th) make some noise over some they don't.
Lastly, there seems to be a rash of pot users and sellers going to the cops when their deals go awry. Interesting.

Hittin' the links: "Do you like your tarantula?"
The wonders of the internet.
Obama asks the astronauts to check if his Kenwood lawn is getting mowed. He could've just asked me.
Vallas rules out a run for Cook County Board President, but won't categorically deny mayoral ambitions in 2011.
The 'ayes' on the parking meter deal are slowly being winnowed into two camps: those who feel guilty about their vote, and those who don't. Micah Maidenberg, at ChiJo, is doing a good job of keeping tabs.
Cicero...on the move!
