"The origins of Chicago’s water crisis long predate Mayor Brandon Johnson. But as a candidate, Johnson made environmental justice — and specifically clean water — a centerpiece of his campaign. He pledged to confront hazards like lead pollution, particularly on the South and West Sides, promising swift action and comprehensive study. Yet since taking office, progress has stalled. The mayor’s silence and inaction on an issue that once defined his platform are deeply troubling."
Who’s going to hold them accountable? The Republicans?

The water that Chicagoan’s drink is a witches brew. In addition to lead, how about the spills made by the old steel mills which dumped
hexavalent chromium and just smell the chlorine that hits your nose when you take a sip.
Zippy does not even bring up eating fish caught in Lake Michigan anymore no one should eat it
due to toxic build up of organic compounds, it
will turn your liver to mush.
Remember the new motto of Da Mayor office,
” First we get the money”.

Because the lead rots their brain and keeps them voting for Dems who do nothing but raise their taxes..
Also, Dems are big on collecting taxes for one reason and using them for another. When the neglected problem festers long enough, then it’s time to beg the Feds for more money or put the clamp on taxpayers again to fix something at 10X the cost had it been fixed long ago.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
