Our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy have changed. We think you'll like them better this way.
We are the employers of the Mayor, the Governor, the City Clerk, the City Treasurer, the Alderman, the States Attorney, the State Representative, the State Senator, and all the elected officials on the ballot. Our tax dollars pay their salaries. But what are they really supposed to be doing? Most citizens who vote really don't have a clue as to the job description of each elected office. Most public schools stopped teaching "civics" long ago. So, we give a lot of power and control over our lives to people and we don't even know anything about them, or the kinds of decisions they make that affect our daily survival. Bill "Doc" Walls, currently a candidate for Mayor of Chicago, has studied and even run for, a number of elected offices. Today he'll help us move closer to totalpolitical literacy with detailed explanations of the duties, responsibilities and hiring powers of those people running for public office who are asking for our vote in the upcoming election.
