MORE CROWDED?

01:04.033 --> 01:08.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> WELL, I THINK THE CROWDED

01:05.133 --> 01:09.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
FIELD IS TELLING US THAT PEOPLE

THE MESSAGE WE HAVE WHICH IS A

01:21.966 --> 01:26.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%

AND WE ARE OFFERING THOSE

01:35.000 --> 01:39.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
SOLUTIONS AND IDEAS.

01:37.066 --> 01:41.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
>> GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF

01:38.166 --> 01:42.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
SOMETHING THAT HAS GOTTEN WORSE

01:39.866 --> 01:44.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
FROM THE TIME YOU FIRST RAN FOR

01:41.633 --> 01:45.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
MAYOR?

01:42.166 --> 01:48.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> WELL, THE CONVENTIONAL NEWS

01:44.300 --> 01:50.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
PUT FORTH ABOUT OUR CITY'S

01:45.866 --> 01:53.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
FINANCIAL HEALTH IS PAINTED AN

01:48.966 --> 01:55.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OPTIMISTIC PICTURE IF WE LOOK AT

01:50.700 --> 01:57.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THE DEBT THE CITY HAS INCURRED

01:53.266 --> 01:59.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
FLOATING A $10 BILLION BOND

01:55.833 --> 02:01.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
WITHOUT HAVING IN PLACE A STRONG

01:57.800 --> 02:03.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
REVENUE PLAN FOR THE CITY AND WE

01:59.366 --> 02:04.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
HAVE NOT MADE THE CHANGES TO

02:01.066 --> 02:06.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
ADDRESS THE PENSION ISSUE.

02:03.066 --> 02:07.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WE'VE SEEN VIOLENCE CONTINUING

02:04.233 --> 02:09.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
IN THE CITY UNABATED OVER SEVEN

02:06.433 --> 02:09.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
OR EIGHT YEARS.

02:07.166 --> 02:11.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
IT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AT THE

02:09.600 --> 02:13.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:12.5%
ROOT.

02:09.900 --> 02:14.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
SO COMMUNITIES ARE STILL LOOKING

02:11.666 --> 02:16.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
FOR SOLUTIONS AND COMMITMENT TO

02:13.800 --> 02:19.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSE.

02:14.833 --> 02:20.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
IF WE LOOK AT EDUCATION WE HAVE

02:16.666 --> 02:22.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
SEEN MANY CRISES OUT OF CPS

02:19.566 --> 02:24.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
SEXUAL ABUSE OR THE VIOLATION OF

02:20.900 --> 02:26.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THE RIGHTS OF STUDENTS WHO NEED

02:22.900 --> 02:28.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES.

02:24.366 --> 02:29.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
AND THE ISSUE OF EQUITY AND

02:26.933 --> 02:30.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
PEOPLE HAVING ACCESS TO HIGH

02:28.533 --> 02:31.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
QUALITY SCHOOLS IN THEIR

02:29.733 --> 02:33.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
NEIGHBORHOOD.

02:30.166 --> 02:34.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THESE ARE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN

02:31.600 --> 02:35.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
BREWING FOR YEARS AND PEOPLE

02:33.033 --> 02:37.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR LEADERSHIP

02:34.566 --> 02:37.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
AND LOOKING FOR A VISION AND

02:35.700 --> 02:38.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THAT IS WHAT WE ARE OFFERING TO

02:37.133 --> 02:42.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:12.5%
THEM.

02:37.600 --> 02:43.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> ON THE VIOLENCE FRONT WHAT

02:38.933 --> 02:46.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WOULD YOU DO IF ELECTED MAYOR?

02:42.066 --> 02:46.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> UNDERSTANDING THE VIOLENCE IS

02:43.500 --> 02:48.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
A SYMPTOM OF OUR PUBLIC POLICY

02:46.300 --> 02:50.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
FAILINGS.

02:46.666 --> 02:51.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
IT IS THE MANIFESTATION OF OUR

02:48.666 --> 02:53.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
FAILINGS IN INVESTMENTS

02:50.100 --> 02:56.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
ECONOMICALLY IN COMMUNITIES, IN

02:51.466 --> 02:57.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
NOT HAVING ACCESS TO MENTAL

02:53.800 --> 02:58.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
HEALTH SERVICES AND THE LACK OF

02:56.033 --> 03:00.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
EDUCATIONAL OUT COMES AND

02:57.033 --> 03:00.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE AND THE

02:58.100 --> 03:02.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
LACK OF JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR

03:00.066 --> 03:04.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
PEOPLE.

03:00.400 --> 03:04.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WE TREAT VIOLENCE IN A REACTIVE

03:02.466 --> 03:08.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
WAY WHICH IS A CALL FOR MORE

03:04.166 --> 03:08.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
POLICE.

03:04.533 --> 03:10.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WELL, THAT IS A REACTIVE WAY OF

03:08.000 --> 03:11.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
ADDRESSING VIOLENCE.

03:08.900 --> 03:12.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
WE HAVE TO GET TO THE ROOT

03:10.233 --> 03:14.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
CAUSES AND THAT REQUIRES

03:11.533 --> 03:15.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
INVESTMENT IN THE AREAS WE HAVE

03:12.900 --> 03:17.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
NOT INVESTED FOR YEARS.

03:14.800 --> 03:23.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU

03:15.966 --> 03:25.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
RAISE THE LAST TIME FOR MAYOR

03:17.666 --> 03:26.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%

COMMODITY TRADING DO YOU FEEL

03:26.500 --> 03:30.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
THAT WAY?

>> ONE OF THE THINGS WE PUT

03:28.866 --> 03:34.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
FORTH ARE IDEAS THAT ARE

03:30.666 --> 03:35.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
TRANSFORMATIVE FOR THE ECONOMY.

03:32.666 --> 03:36.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
THE BIGGEST FINANCIAL

03:34.366 --> 03:38.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
TRANSACTION TAX IS ONE OF THE

03:35.466 --> 03:40.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT.

03:36.500 --> 03:42.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
WE ARE PUSHING ANOTHER

03:40.266 --> 03:46.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
PUBLIC BANK FOR CHICAGO AND THAT

03:42.100 --> 03:48.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
IS IMAGINING A BANK WHOSE

03:44.466 --> 03:49.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
ALLEGIANCE IS TO TAXPAYERS AND

03:46.533 --> 03:51.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS TO GROW

03:48.466 --> 03:53.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
AND SUPPORT THE ECONOMY.

03:49.500 --> 03:54.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
AND WE TALK ABOUT THE IDEA OF

03:51.933 --> 03:57.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
COOPERATIVE ECONOMIC MODELS

03:53.166 --> 03:58.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
WHICH EMPOWERS COMMUNITIES,

03:54.933 --> 03:59.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
BUILD WEALTH IN COMMUNITIES AND

03:57.100 --> 04:01.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
GENERATIONAL WEALTH SO WE HAVE

03:58.300 --> 04:03.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
THE TAX BASE THAT CAN SUPPORT

03:59.733 --> 04:04.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
THE CITY.

TRANSFORMATIVE ECONOMIC IDEAS WE

04:04.666 --> 04:10.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
WILL CONTINUE TO LIMP ALONG

04:07.633 --> 04:11.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
ACCRUING MORE DEBT WITHOUT

INEQUITABLE CITY WHAT DO YOU

04:16.233 --> 04:21.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:12.5%
MEAN?

04:16.566 --> 04:22.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
>> THE FACT I CAN DRIVE TWO

04:18.233 --> 04:24.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
MILES AND THE CAUTION CALL OF

04:21.666 --> 04:26.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
EDUCATION WOULD BE DIFFERENT.

04:22.800 --> 04:28.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THE FACT THAT I LIVE ON THE WEST

SIDE OF CHICAGO MY LIFESPAN WILL

04:26.800 --> 04:33.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
BE 20 YEARS LESS THAN

INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVE DOWNTOWN

04:30.133 --> 04:39.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT.

FLEEING TO THE SUBURBS.

04:45.466 --> 04:49.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AND THE FACT THAT CHICAGO IS THE

04:47.100 --> 04:52.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
FUNDAMENTAL ONE CITY FOR

04:48.333 --> 04:54.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%

THE NORTH SIDE OF THE CITY.

05:02.133 --> 05:10.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> MY FAMILY IS NIGERIAN A LOT

05:04.366 --> 05:11.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
OF THE NIGERIAN COMMUNITY LIVED

05:08.333 --> 05:13.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
ON THE NORTH SIDE AND WE WOULD

WILL.

05:18.900 --> 05:24.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%

THAT EXPERIENCE GIVE YOU OF

05:22.266 --> 05:29.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
GOING FROM THE SUBURBS WHERE YOU

05:24.766 --> 05:30.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
LIVE TO CHICAGO'S NORTH SIDE?

05:26.933 --> 05:31.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> WELL IT WAS JUST PART OF THE

05:29.066 --> 05:32.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
DIVERSITY THAT I BRING TO THE

05:30.800 --> 05:33.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:12.5%
WORK.

05:31.100 --> 05:35.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
SO LIVING IN THE SUBURBS,

05:32.400 --> 05:36.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH SUBURBS

05:33.866 --> 05:38.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AND UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGES

05:35.166 --> 05:41.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
THAT ARE IS PHENOMENAD.

05:36.366 --> 05:42.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
I MANAGED THE MUNICIPALITY OUT

05:38.366 --> 05:43.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THERE AS WELL AND IT GIVES YOU A

05:41.300 --> 05:45.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
PERSPECTIVE WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO

05:42.466 --> 05:46.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
HAVE A HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE.

05:43.900 --> 05:47.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
AND PEOPLE GENERALLY WANT THE

05:45.200 --> 05:50.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
SAME THINGS.

05:46.066 --> 05:52.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THERE IS NOT A PERSON THAT I'VE

05:47.933 --> 05:54.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
MET OR COMMUNITY THAT SAID THEY

05:50.533 --> 05:56.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
DON'T WANT QUALITY SCHOOLS AND

05:52.100 --> 05:56.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THEY DON'T WANT ACCESS TO A JOB

05:54.000 --> 05:58.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
AND DON'T WANT PARKS AND

05:56.400 --> 06:01.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
GREENSPACE.

05:56.800 --> 06:04.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
IT IS A UNIFYING THEME WHETHER

05:58.666 --> 06:06.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
YOU ARE ON THE SOUTH SIDE

06:01.033 --> 06:07.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
ROSELAND OR THE NORTH SIDE OR

06:04.433 --> 06:09.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WEST SIDE PEOPLE WANT ACCESS TO

06:06.266 --> 06:10.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
A HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE AND IT IS

06:07.833 --> 06:11.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CREATE THE

06:09.333 --> 06:14.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
ENVIRONMENT FOR THAT.

06:10.266 --> 06:16.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> AFTER YOU LEFT THE UNIVERSITY

06:11.366 --> 06:16.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OF ILLINOIS YOU WENT TO WORK FOR

06:14.866 --> 06:18.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
RICHARD M. DALEY WHAT DID YOU

06:16.400 --> 06:20.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:7.5%
DO?

06:16.666 --> 06:23.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
>> THAT WAS MY --

06:18.166 --> 06:24.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
I WORKED IN THE MAYOR'S OFFICE I

06:20.100 --> 06:26.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WAS A JOURNALIST WORKING ACROSS

06:23.700 --> 06:30.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
POLICY AREAS SUPPORTING THE

06:24.900 --> 06:31.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
MAYOR'S STAFF GETTING THAT TOP

06:26.766 --> 06:32.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
LEVEL VIEW HOW THE CITY WORKS.

06:30.066 --> 06:34.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
PART OF THE REASON I WENT TO

06:31.566 --> 06:36.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
WORK BECAUSE OF THE QUESTIONS

06:32.533 --> 06:38.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ABOUT THE DISCONNECT BETWEEN WHO

06:34.800 --> 06:40.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
MAKES POLICY AND THE EFFECT OF

06:36.933 --> 06:42.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
THE POLICIES.

06:38.700 --> 06:43.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
SO FOR ME IT MADE SENSE TO FIND

06:40.333 --> 06:45.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING AND WHO IS

06:42.100 --> 06:45.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
MAKING THE DECISIONS AND THAT IS

06:43.633 --> 06:48.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WHAT LED ME TO WANT TO WORK IN

06:45.500 --> 06:49.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
GOVERNMENT.

06:45.900 --> 06:52.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
I WAS ABLE TO GET A BROADVIEW

06:48.200 --> 06:53.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
EVERYTHING FROM FOOD SECURITY TO

06:49.566 --> 06:55.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
HOUSING POLICY, ECONOMIC POLICY,

06:52.633 --> 06:57.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
EDUCATION, VIOLENCE PREVENTION

06:53.566 --> 06:57.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
IT WAS A WELL ROUNDED EXPERIENCE

06:55.366 --> 07:00.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
THAT HELPED ME TO UNDERSTAND

06:57.300 --> 07:02.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
GOVERNMENT.

06:57.700 --> 07:02.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%

07:04.800 --> 07:11.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
REALLY SAW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I

07:11.133 --> 07:15.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
TENURE.

07:11.466 --> 07:16.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
THE WAY THAT CITY COUNCIL WAS

07:12.866 --> 07:18.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
STRUCTURED AND THE WAY THE

07:15.266 --> 07:20.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
CONSOLIDATION OF POWER MEANT

07:16.500 --> 07:20.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%

THAT WERE MADE WITHOUT A LOT OF

07:20.466 --> 07:22.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
PUSHBACK.

07:20.833 --> 07:24.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
AND THAT WAS CLEAR.

07:21.633 --> 07:27.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
THERE IS A NOTION OF DOING

07:22.933 --> 07:29.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THINGS THE SAME WAY BECAUSE THAT

07:24.200 --> 07:30.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
IS THE WAY WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE
