LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Return Columbus Statue To Little Italy. Before The Mayor Spends $6.8 Million On New Monuments, Perhaps He Can Return The Christopher Columbus Statue To Its Rightful Place In Little Italy.

This is not your city anymore, deplorable. However, this recent push to memorialize blacks with street names and statutes is really akin to whistling past the cemetery, as Chicago’s hispanic population surges at the expense of the blacks.

Municipal services are underfunded , disregarded unless aligned with progressive agenda talking-points.
