PUBLIC SAFETY AND FINANCES AND EDUCATION.

I THINK WE HAVE I KNOW WE HAVE GOOD IDEAS AND PLANS TO BUSINESS YOUR FATHER HAD WITH O'HARE AND THE CITY?

>> NO.

I'M PRIVY TO WHAT I READ IN THE NEWSPAPERS THAT STORY THAT WAS PERPETUATED BY RAHM EMANUEL AND BILL DALEY IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE.

MY FATHER DID NOT CARE FOR RAHM EMANUEL LONG BEFORE HE BECAME MAYOR IT WAS CLEAR.

>> AND DOES YOUR FATHER ANYONE IN YOUR FAMILY HAVE CURRENT CONTRACTS WITH THE CITY?

>> NO NOT THAT I AM AWARE OF.

>> YOU ARE A LIFELONG BEVERLY RESIDENT A YEN OF YOU HAVE A MULTIRACIAL FAMILY, TELL US ABOUT THEM.

>> MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY MY WIFE IS, MY WIFE IS FILIPINO OUR CHILDREN ARE GAUT MALL LAND, MY SISTER-IN-LAW IS AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND MY NIECES ARE AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND MY OTHER NIECES ARE ASIAN.

>> AND HOW DOES THAT INFORM YOUR WORLD OR OUR OUTLOOK AND HOW WOULD YOU APPLY THAT TO BEING MAYOR?

>> MY CHILDREN ARE MY CHILDREN.

I THINK I HAVE A GREAT PERSPECTIVE EITHER WAY WHETHER MY CHILDREN -- I HAVE APPRECIATION FOR THE ADOPTION PROCESS AND I'M BLESSED THAT MY WIFE AND I ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE ADOPTED OUR CHILDREN.

I HAVE IF THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE GETTING TO.

>> TALKING ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.

TELLING US A LITTLE BIT BIT MORE ABOUT YOURSELF.

>> AND LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES.

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT ALDERMAN ED BURKE SHOULD RESIGN?

>> IT'S UP TO ED BURKE.

>> HAVE YOU EVER TALKED TO ED BURKE DO YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM?

>> I HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP WITH ED BURKE.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF BANNING OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT FOR ALDERMEN IN THE WAKE OF THIS SCANDAL?

>> LONG BEFORE THE WAKE OF THIS SCANDAL IF YOU ARE MAKING $100,000 IN A GOVERNMENT POSITION THAT SHOULD BE YOUR SOLE POSITION I'M ALL FOR BANNING OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT FOR ALDERMEN.

>> AND WHAT IS YOUR PLAN TO ADDRESS VIOLENCE IN CHICAGO.

>> I THINK IT IS OUR CITY'S NUMBER ONE ISSUE.

FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS WITH THE POLICY TO LET THE POLICE DEPARTMENT GET DEPLETED AND PARTICULARLY THE DETECTIVE DIVISION TO GET DEPLETED WE'VE SEEN THE EFFECTS THROUGHOUT OUR WHOLE CITY.

IF WE DON'T GET THAT RIGHT AND NUMBERS ARE COMING BACKUP BUT FOR SO LONG THE DETECTIVE DIVISION WENT FROM 1200 TO 800, CLEARANCE RATES ON SHOOTINGS BECAUSE EVERYONE IS WELL AWARE OF THE HOMICIDES AND CLEARANCE RATES HAVE HALVED ON SHOOTINGS WHICH WE HAVE 2800 A YEAR MINIMUM LATELY.

SO YOU TAKE IT THROUGH TO CLEARANCE RATES GO DOWN, DETECTIVES GO DOWN, IT DOESN'T TAKE A GENIUS TO FIGURE OUT THAT CRIMES ARE NOT BEING INVESTIGATED AND SHOOTINGS ARE NOT BEING FOLLOWED UP ON WE HAVE 2000 SHOOTERS PER YEAR THAT ARE NOT BEING APPREHENDED OR IDENTIFIED WE HAVE SO MANY SHOOTERS OUT THERE AND THAT IS IMPACTING CRIME.

AND SHOTS THAT ARE CONNECTED.

>> YOU WANT TO BEEF UP DETECTIVE RANKS?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> AND HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO PAY FOR THAT.

IT COSTS A LOT?

>> HOW DO YOU PROPOSE NOT TO PAY FOR IT.

WE NEED TO FOLLOW-UP ON CRIMES.

AND WE HAVE TO ATTACK THE OTHER END, TOO, AND THIS COMMUNITY POLICING CONCEPT NEEDS TO BE GOTTEN RIGHT.

COMMUNITY POLICING AND CAPS IS A GREAT PR TOOL.

BUT YOU HAVE TO GET TO THE ROOT OF IT.

AND WE NEED TO GET POLICE OFFICERS EMBEDDED IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT THEY SERVE.

SO THAT THIS TRUST OR LACK OF TRUST OR LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT BY COMMUNITIES IS DONE AWAY WITH.

AND WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT.

WE HAVE A PROPOSAL TO HAVE A PILOT PROJECT IN ONE OR TWO DISTRICTS STARTING OUT WHEREBY THERE WILL BE 10 TO EIGHT BEAT OFFICERS FOR A MINIMUM OF 30 MONTHS WITH ONE SERGEANT PER BEAT AND WE CAN MONITOR THE RESULTS AND INCENTIVIZE THEM BONUS POINTS ON PROMOTIONAL SITUATIONS TO GET THE OFFICERS TO STAY IN THERE AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE COMMUNITY AND LEARN WHO THE GOOD PEOPLE ARE AND THE BAD PEOPLE ARE AND WHERE THE PROBLEMS ARE AND ADDRESS THEM AND NOT GETTING THAT INTELLIGENCE THAT IS SO IMPORTANT.

>> WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ON THE CONSENT DECREE THAT WOULD BRING IN FEDERAL OVERSIGHT?

>> MY VIEW IS THAT THE CONSENT DECREE IS GOING TO BE IN PLACE BY THE TIME THE NEXT MAYOR IS TAKING OFFICE.

THERE ARE GOOD THINGS IN THE CONSENT DECREE.

>> YOU HAVE AN ICE CUBE IN YOUR WATER.

>> SO THE CONSENT DECREE A LOT OF THINGS THAT IN THE CONSENT DECREE HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED IN THE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT.

SO THE NEXT MAYOR ADMINISTRATION WILL BE BOUND BY THE CONSENT DECREE.

MY VIEW IS THERE ARE VERY GOOD THINGS IN THERE.

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE COST OF IT.

AND NOT SURE ABOUT ALL THE PAPERWORK THAT IS INVOLVED IN THAT AND I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE IN A SITUATION WHERE SAFETY IS COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF CONCERNS ABOUT PAPERWORK.

>> AND CITY FINANCES.

AS YOU KNOW, CHICAGO FACES A HUGE PENSION SHORTFALL IT WILL NEED TO FIND A BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR MORE STARTING IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS BEYOND MARIJUANA REVENUE AND CASINO REVENUE HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO FIND THE MONEY TO PAY INTO THE SYSTEMS?

>> FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE A PROMISE THAT WAS MADE TO THESE WORKERS YEARS AGO.

WE CANNOT BANKRUPT THE CITY.

WE CANNOT GET A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO SHORT THESE PEOPLE.

THEY ABIDED AND IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT THEY PAID INTO THEIR PENSIONS.

THE LEADERS OF OUR GOVERNMENT DID NOT PAY IN.

THEY SHOULD NOT SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES FOR THAT.

>> TO THE REVENUE ASPECT, THOUGH?

>> WE NEED TO FIND NEW REVENUE.

WE CANNOT SOLVE THIS ON THE BACKS OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS.

SO WE HAVE PROPOSALS FOR NEW REVENUE.

ONE BEING SPORTS BETTING THAT IS NOW ALLOWED BY THE SUPREME COURT.

WE HAVE A PROPOSAL TO PUT A CASINO ON THE SOUTH WORK SITE TO MAKE IT AN ENTERTAINMENT ZONE WHERE WE CAN THEN ESTABLISH SPORTS BETTING THERE.

THAT COULD COME UPWARDS OF A COUPLE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.

IS THAT GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

YOU KNOW THAT FULL WELL.

WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS THAT WILL GIVE US BREATHING ROOM AND GROW OUR WAY OUT OF THIS.

THE PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT AND THE SOLUTION WILL NOT BE OVERNIGHT BUT WE CANNOT SHORT THE PENSIONEERS.

>> IS ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS ISN'T RAISING PROPERTY TAXES?

>> EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE ON THE TABLE.

I MADE IT CLEAR WE CANNOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS YOU'RE FULLY AWARE OF, ON BY PROPERTY TAXES AND CERTAINLY NOT ON THE BACKS OF THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS.

>> AUTO.

>> IN TERMS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN CHICAGO DO YOU SUPPORT THE MOVE TO AN ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD?

>> I DO.

I DO.

I THINK THERE'S BEEN A LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS AS EVIDENCED IN THE FIRST AND FOREMOST THE SEXUAL ABUSE SCANDAL THAT NEVER GOT FOLLOWED UP ON.

IT IS ATROCIOUS IT HAPPENED AND ALLOWED TO GO ON EVEN AFTER IT WAS MADE KNOWN BY THE -- MADE KNOWN FROM THE TRIBUNE'S INVESTIGATION TO THE CPS AUTHORITIES BACK IN JANUARY BEFORE IT PUBLISHED THE REPORT ON THAT DESPICABLE PROBLEM.

SO THAT, I THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF WE HAD MORE ACCOUNTABLE BOARD MEMBERS AND PEOPLE THAT WERE IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT THEY SERVE.

PEOPLE THAT HAVE A LITTLE MORE INVESTMENT IN THEIR VESTED INTEREST.

I DO SUPPORT AN ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD THAT IS ONE EXAMPLE OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND IT'S IN THE LACK OF CLEANLINESS IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM WHICH TAKES A SHOT AT PRIVATIZATION IS NOT THE WAY TO GO IN THESE INSTANCES ALL THE TIME.

I SUPPORT THE ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD.

SIX MEMBERS.

ONE PER DISTRICT ELECTED ONE MAYORAL APPOINTEE, MAYOR SHOULD HAVE INPUT INTO WHAT IS GOING ON IN CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.

>> JERRY JOYCE YOU WON THE LOTTERY TO BE THE FIRST NAME ON THE BALLOT AND YOU WILL HAVE --
