On April 27, 2008 Wayne was contacted and told about some headstones on the parkway.  He had to ask, "Headstones?  You mean the objects that are at a cemetery?"  The reply from this community resident was "Yes.  Exactly!"

Wayne told this resident that to his knowledge, the parkway was public property and as such, one is not suppose to alter the parkway due to ordinances that are in effect.  He called 3-1-1 to confirm and then when he met with the community resident, he reiterated what he was told.

Time to Visit the 29th Ward Streets and Sanitation Office

Wayne stopped by the office and talked with the clerk.  Essentially he told him the address - the 2200 block of North Mulligan - and asked to have something done about it because community residents were getting rather upset looking at the three headstones.

The clerk said something would be done and he would have them removed.

Here are a couple other pictures showing the parkway and last headstone. Now out of respect for those that have served this country, we believe they should be admired and paid respect, however, the parkway for any street is not the location for such respect.  They really belong in the cemetery.

It also seems that the owner of the headstones took it upon himself to alter the parkway even further by removing a new sidewalk and replacing it with stones.

It's the 29th Ward and Carothers Just Don't Give a Damn

What do you expect from a guy that stole his first election?  Visit this link.  He's a Daley crony from the word go, as was his father who was an alderman here in Chicago that was indicted and found guilty, serving several years in prison.

Carothers could care less about the north end of the 29th Ward, which is mostly Hispanic, other than to make sure he gives away gifts at Christmas time.  You see, he does not want to step on any toes of the Hispanic Democratic Organization - those are Daley's guys and girls who are involved in corruption!  However, even Carothers should draw a line somewhere when it comes to posting headstones on the public way!
