A broken clock is right twice a day, and this was one of those times for Devon Reid. His career with the CoE has been pretty disappointing, and I agree he only got into this because of the EPD encounter during a time particularly when folks were not too fond of police nationwide.

A broken clock is right twice a day, and this was one of those times for Devon Reid. His career with the CoE has been pretty disappointing, and I agree he only got into this because of the EPD encounter during a time particularly when folks were not too fond of police nationwide.
But this city lease thing does not sit well with me. Plenty of people smarter than I, who also work in the RE industry have insisted this is a bad deal, yet the City plunges forward. How can they expect us to believe anything other than there are shenanigans in the background? And we have a LOT of shenanigans going on in this city.
I think there should be some public polling when the City embarks on expensive ventures that tie us up for decades to come. Not public comment, because that looks like it is on the chopping block. But maybe something as simple as a survey monkey. Because if they really listened to the citizenry, they would hear that this is not a good deal for us and they should simply issue a mea culpa and go back to the drawing board. We all know how reticent public servants in Evanston are to issue apologies, however.
