Rumor patrol
Monday, Mar 14, 2022 - Posted by Rich Miller * I received a bunch of text messages yesterday claiming that Gov. JB Pritzker didn’t finish the South Side Irish Parade for security reasons. Someone even tweeted about it. The governor participated by invitation of the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council, and an aide to Executive Secretary-Treasurer Gary Perinar told me the governor was never on a float (the council didn’t even have a float) and walked the entire parade route to the end. This year’s parade started at 103rd St. and ran south to 115th St. As you can see, they walked past Kennedy Park. Also, note the street sign on the second pic. It’s the end of the parade… 
* And a video… The video was sent phone-to-phone, so it’s blurry. …Adding… Maybe now we can turn to the very real and IMPORTANT story of how Chicago FOP President John Catanzara wore orange to the Northwest Side Irish Parade. Kind of a faux pas, unless he’s an Orangeman.
