No way, I texted back. No union—even one in Chicago—can be that stupid.
Yes way, my friend responded, look it up yourself.
So I went to the Illinois Board of Elections website and there it was in black and white. On May 30, Local 73—which represents hundreds of working-class city, park, and school employees—gave the mayor a little more of what he most definitely does not need: campaign money.
WTF?!!
I dutifully called and e-mailed Adam Rosen, Local 73’s press spokesman, for an answer to my main question—what the hell were you thinking?
But he didn’t get back to me.
