“In Chicago, a powerful black political presence is entirely consistent with a murder rate thrice that in New York. It’s a city where the Mayoralty, controlled by Democrats since 1931, has produced an economy in which the largest employer is the federal government, followed by the failed Chicago Public School system. In descending order, the next largest employers are the City of Chicago, the Chicago Transit Authority, the Cook County government, and the Chicago Park District.”
