Rahm Can Fix It - Pothole Patching



Entourage on LSD

  Okay, Rahm.  Time to change the way we do things - "the Chicago Way" is costing us too much money.  My entertainment this afternoon was watching some pothole maintenance on Lake Shore Drive.  Sounds like a good thing, right?  Think again.

The entourage consisted of:  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

• 1 CPD squad car
• 1 City of Chicago tow truck
• 1 van with the city logo on it (supervisor perhaps?)
• 2 dump trucks
• 3 city workers on foot



Men at Work



I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume each vehicle had only a driver - not any passengers.  That is a total  headcount of EIGHT (8) - probably on time and a half (Saturday).  That would be great news if they were going to attack a 10 mile stretch of the drive.

I watched them for 40 minutes and they found and patched a total of THREE (3) small potholes and were on their way.    I didn't follow them.  Maybe they picked up the pace when they got further south.

Or, maybe NOT.  There's got to be a better way, Rahm.
