Ugh. I had to stop reading after the first radio quote. Ugly stuff.

Unlike Mayor Parks, I don’t think “strip club baron and convicted felon” constitute “professional accomplishments”.

JoanP, I read that quote as having been made with the Mayor’s tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Where’s Rauner’s $20 million when we need it?
Wonder if Jason Plummer lives in the district? (This is snarky, not a question or a wonder)

===It’s not hard to imagine — with his strings of FCC-approved cuss words, slight drawl and references to “greasy Mexicans” that Romanik, who calls himself “poor white trash,” is a racist nutbag. He leaps at the chance to tell people he’s “crazy.” But the man behind the mask is also an ex-police chief, onetime strip club baron and a convicted felon with ties to one of the largest racketeering scandals to hit the east side.===
Amiel Cueto’s best friend since grade school and the former police chief of Washington Park, this guy is an Illinois original. Talk about shaking up Springfield. Can you imagine him on the floor of the House?
Almost makes me wish I could vote for him.

@ 47th Ward: “Talk about shaking up Springfield. Can you imagine him on the floor of the House?”
Kind of odd that he even wants to be there, since he says he didn’t get in trouble until he started hanging around with politicians!

Wow. This guy gives low-lifes a bad name.

He’d fit right in with the Rauner Republicans.

Why does this not surprise me given the level of our political discourse???

A chance for Jim Durkin to class up his place.

Didn’t the state GOP powers-that-be see this guy coming? They couldn’t get anyone else on the ballot for the primary?
Comment by wordslinger Friday, Jan 8, 16 @ 4:10 pm
Wonder what he’s been up to since 2012?
