‘It’s a blood sport here in Chicago’ — Mendoza vows to end campaign as she started: ‘full speed ahead’

Update: 2019-02-22

Description

Susana Mendoza won a statewide reputation as an attack dog during the budget standoff with former Gov. Bruce Rauner — and Mendoza has no regrets. Now a candidate for Chicago mayor, Mendoza has sought to capitalize on that image with an aggressive campaign that has run afoul of fact checkers at times. On this episode of The Daily Line’s Aldercast, recorded Feb. 14, we’ll talk about Mendoza’s connections to embattled Alds. Ed Burke and Danny Solis, her warning to the Chicago Teachers Union and how she would approach the city’s looming pension crisis. Comments, questions or suggestions? Email info@thedailyline.net.
