...Born Round you detail all the fake names and disguises you used to avoid detection in restaurants, and yet you seemed to get recognized all the time. Sam Sifton is your successor and his photo is already on the Internet. Do you think he'll be able to eat anonymously at all? It's going to get harder and harder as the years go by because of the advance of technology. It's easier for people to take pictures and it's easier to message them around.

He had designated no clear successor. Now, most legislators in the state, being staunch loyalists, are now displaying that loyalty by rallying behind Reddy...
...million of Ceasefire's $8 million budget. That state funding completely vanished when then Gov. Rod Blagojevich slashed spending, resulting in a loss of 150 staff jobs and a surge in violence in the South Side of Chicago, where Ceasefire does a lot of its work. After Blagojevich's successor, Pat Quinn, saw the increase in crime, the funding was fully reinstated this year and Ceasefire is trying to put its workers back into the street...
