BLUE CITY BLUES: Socialists now outnumber Republicans on Chicago’s city council.

As Glenn noted earlier today, newly elected Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot is “one of Rahm Emanuel’s people.” So my guess is despite being the Chicago’s First-This/First-That mayor, her main concern will be not to rock the boat too much, and to make sure the right people get keeping getting all the — let’s put this delicately — city services they’re used to paying for.

All the new socialists on the city council might prove to be a problem, or at least an expensive distraction.
