This post over at Ronald Sistrunk's new blog talks about why he believes it's time for a change here in the 6th. Although to be sure I think it's an exageration to say that crime here rivals "the Saint Valentine's Day Era". That was perhaps an allusion to the St. Valentine's Day massacre of 1929. In any event comments are locked her and hopefully you might offer your thoughts at his blog.
Also Sistrunk was a potential Aldermanic challenger, but didn't file petitions to run this year.
