Did you know our esteemed alderman, William J.P. Banks, has his own driver? Or rather had, now that Banks is retiring. (BTW, Did we pay for that?) Well, it appears this personal driver, one John Rice, has garnered enough exposure to aldermanic insight to become our new alderman! Banks has nominated him to be his replacement after his retirement. Until the next aldermanic election, I hope. I suppose you can learn a lot about the 36th ward while driving to and from City Hall. Well, golly gee, that makes me feel optimistic for the future of the ward.
The Tribune and CBS2 report that Rice is feting banks at a Rosemont restaurant on August 28th. (What, Pollo Ranchero, Caponies or Luke's on Harlem not good enough?) If you do go to Banks' retirement bash (do try to sneak in without coughing up the $200 donation) please be sure to post what you see here. It should be very enlightening.
