Latest fundraising has Paul Vallas eager for campaign fight in Chicago mayoral race – FOX32 (Chicago)

Vallas branded the "Republican" tag a desperation move by a failing mayor. "Crime is out of control in this city. … She gives us a police department that’s been significantly degraded. A school system that has lost 11% student population since she came in, that was closed for 15 months because she caved to the teachers union with devastating consequences. A CTA that is still down 500,000 riders a day since she came into office. And nothing but a few one-off projects on the South and West sides."
