Who’s the Hidden Hand in the Media Mayor Debate?

By Rev. Harold E. Bailey

It has been set forth that the requirements for running for mayor in the City of Chicago is that a person must be 18 years old, a registered voter, a resident of the city of Chicago without any debt, unpaid tax, lien or other obligations to the city of Chicago. The candidate must not have a felony conviction or conviction for any infamous crime, bribery or perjury. Candidates also must have a particular amount of signatures and must file in a timely fashion.

After meeting these guidelines and ‘legally’ considered a suitable candidate for the mayor’s seat, the question comes to mind as to how some portions of the media then set their own guidelines and their own criteria rather than that of the Board of Elections Commission.

In the interest of fairness, taxpayers are again exempt from a legal and honest process that was set forth to protect taxpayers from that which is about to take place.

This is not to say that it should be one candidate above another, but that all who have followed the obedience of the law … should run the race fairly, complete  the course, and await the taxpayer’s decision via a debate that should include all candidates who are within the guidelines of  the written law.

Are there other factors not known to the public that should be known?  If so, they should be forth coming, immediately.

Where is the Chicago honest and non-biased government that we the taxpayers deserve?
