chicagojournal1 The Chicago Journal this week comes out swinging against Mayor Daley’s committment of taxpayer money to fund the 2016 Olympic Games:

The Daley Administration and its lackeys in the local Olympic organizing committee have repeatedly promised that no public money would be spent putting on a 2016 Olympiad here.

“Taxpayer money is not being used for the games,” John Murray, chief of bid operations for Chicago 2016, told us last year.

Well, no. That hasn’t been true for a while now. Shame on anyone for pretending otherwise.

Good for the Chicago Journal. Keep working to hold Mayor Daley and the Chicago City Council accountable.
