And, As Your Mayor

I will disallow small planes from flying over the lakefront trailing huge...and I mean HUGE...advertisements for Fox television shows. I remember back in the day when a plane would fly waaaaay up high and trail a simple message in reasonable-sized red letters. Small, nifty "happy anniversary" messages, or something like "flea market today". But no more. Now, I look out my window, for which I paid plenty because it looks at the lake on one side and looks unobstructed west on the other side...and I more and more frequently am subjected to ungodly large advertisements for TV. Which is unnecessary, because I'm ALREADY WATCHING TV. Usually. Anyway, as you mayor, this will stop. The current mayor, as I have ranted about for a few years, literally ripped up a Chicago airport on a Sunday night after midnight and used the threat of terrorism as his justification. Well. Now we have concerts where the airport used to be, and I see plenty of Cessnas out the window providing advertising to all those who have no choice but to look at it.

This isn't much of a 4th tier for my candidacy...it won't really help anyone and doesn't do much. So I'm not making it an official part of my platform. But it's still something that I'll do.

The threat of terrorism can justify virtually any unilateral action on your part. I say go for it.

Mayor Teodoro. I like the sound of that.
