Faith leaders: We can’t let summer events distract us from violence prevention in Chicago – Chicago Tribune*

"Chicago has no structure ensuring that any given mayor see through his or her own gun violence strategy to its conclusion. We certainly have no guarantee that any mayor will see through the gun strategy of his or her predecessor. Instead, each of our past three mayors has spent a year drafting a (barely) new plan to combat gun violence, a year during which the advances of their predecessors were let to lie fallow."
