Chiacgo Mayor Daley calls tax criticism 'insult'
From the Chicago Sun Times:
Lambasted for saddling beleaguered Chicago taxpayers with an unprecedented $293 million burden, Mayor Daley fired back today: He called it an "insult" for anyone to suggest it means he doesn't care that working people are struggling. . .. . . "If you ever use the library. If you've ever gone into a library, [you know] how important libraries are to the future of this city. Libraries, schools and parks are the key to . preventing children [from] going into gangs, guns and drugs. . Immigrant families go to libraries. Kids whose parents are working have to go to libraries for homework. . Libraries are anchors in communities. None of you people have to use them. You're wealthy. But, a lot of people do in Chicago."
