A special thank you to Alexi Giannoulias for FINALLY taking down the HUGE banner on the side of the house on the southeast side of the Red Line Belmont platform at the far south end.
He's the Illinois state treasurer. And the huge sign with his name on it hung on the side of that house for more than a year. He was elected a year ago in November. (The sign hung so long that the rest of the siding around it was obviously faded from the sun.)
It's curious timing that the sign comes down now -- just a few days after Doomsday I was avoided. Maybe he doesn't want CTA riders to think that he has anything to do with the ineffective governor and state legislative leaders.
And to be fair, he doesn't.
Also, maybe he thinks he's getting enough publicity now that he's been named by Crain's to be one the "40 Under 40" to watch.
