Hispanic Lege Members are divided over a bill to impose oversight over Cicero’s finances.
The question asked by an opponent who sees it as a slap at Hispanics is:
”Why isn’t Chicago being picked on?" Aguilar asked. "When I go to Mexico and I mention Chicago, they ask me, ‘Where’s your machinegun?’ ”
The irony of this statement is that Capone started the view of Chicago as a gangster city and, well, Capone moved to Cicero when he was kicked out of the city.
Then again, the other difference is Cicero is run by the mob, Chicago just pays off the Outfit with overpriced and falsely certified minority contracts.
