Mayor Daley, comedy relief

With all the horrible news coming out of our state Mayor Daley has decided, perhaps unintentionally, to give everyone a quick laugh.

Recently the City decided that it has to close a number of mental health centers.  That of course is not funny at all, many people rely on the centers for help with their problems and they will now have to find different centers.

However, in trying to make clear that the decision was not his fault, the Mayor pointed out that the funding for the centers came from the state and due to funding cuts from Springfield some centers had to close. 

Trying to drive his point home as who was to blame produced this comedy gem, “That is state money. Underline that. S-A-T-E [sic] money. It’s called state money. Let’s get the facts. These facts are not correct, so you have to correct people.”

Thanks for the laugh Mayor (it really did make me laugh).  It is unclear if Jackie Heard corrected the Mayor’s spelling afterwards.

I look forward to Governor Quinn delivering the SATE of the SATE address in a few weeks.
