Pence is out. Rahm is in. Yeah I know, shocker.

IL Supreme Court ruled 7-0 that Rahm is eligible to run for mayor, big shocker there, as they allowed his name to be on the ballot before making a decision.

The ol’ it depends what your definition of “resident” means routine.   The meaning is a living meaning open to interpretation depending on your political machine and influence.

Chicago, enjoy your new mayor, Rahm.

I pray you don’t have too many crises.

    I’m gonna try that w/ my state taxes this year and tell them I “intended” to live in Florida for over half the year so I don’t have to pay state taxes. I was only “doing business” in MN for the other 11.5 months of the year!

      saw a residency challenge keep a candidate off the ballot, and quite frankly I am not bothered at all because if an electorate want to put a foreigner in office, that’s there business. They can always vote them out the next time.
