"We, the undersigned residents of Chicago, demand that the City of Chicago's Inspector General be given the full legal authority, by ordinance, to oversee and investigate all of City Hall, including the Office of Mayor and the 50 Ward Aldermen and their staff."

Sign here if you're so inclined.

    Signed it.

    Right now, there are 38 signatures. That's considerably too few for such an obvious endeavor.

    Would seem to me that only 38 people are aware of it.

    Well it is up to almost 100 now. Give it a few days I think most Chicago Tax payers want this to take place and would be happy to advocate for it.

    It will never happen, even if you get 100 million signatures.

    Even if he did get the pwoer, they would just cut his budget.

    I also posted this to my FB account earlier today. Maybe some folks can get it added to the various Chicago and Uptown-related FB Groups and Fan Pages?

    It might be more successful if the text were grammatically correct. It should be "oversee and investigate" rather than "oversight and investigate.".
