Mayor Daley opposes the Chicago Clean Power ordinance that would clean up Chicago's largest single source of toxic emissions: the Fisk and Crawford coal-fired power plants. Green?? Even the 'green olympics' have been shown to be a sham where venues will be cutting down hundreds of more trees than replacing, and will boost public transport spending minimally. See here: http://nogames.wordpress.com/category/environmental-assault/ for good info about this sham. And Mayor Daley has accomplished virtually none of the promised city purchase of renewables. He should be known as the green-washed toxic mayor. <br /><br />The green roof program provides minimal environmental and climate benefit compared to the positions he could take like the clean power ordinance.

Remember the bad 1970's?? When a mayor could get thrown out of office just because he didn't plow the snow off the streets so people could drive their cars?<br /><br />Mayor Daley has changed so much in this city since then...most importantly, he's changed how we citizens THINK. We've become more environmentally aware; we're not so selfish anymore. We're now willing to inconvenience ourselves to make the city more beautiful and environmental. Way to go Mayor!
