Paul Vallas has shown tendencies toward being a closeted Trumper. I don't get it.

The Blackhawks games seem to be wall-to-wall Vallas ads and I was heartbroken to see Jesse White endorsing him.

I'm an active democrat in Southern Illinois, but none of my Democratic Party friends & acquaintances have ever shared a good story or warm memory about Mr. Vallas.

I don't know him, but the folks who do never bring him up around me.

Do with that as you will.

(radio i think)

i wasn't really paying attention and then i thought i heard durbin's voice -- and thought WHAT?? WHY??

googled and yep.

ugh!

i'm in a western burb so neither candidate will be my mayor but i admit i'm disappointed that he's backing vallas (but not surprised). he should've stayed out of it like it seems pritzker did.
